Clinical review: there is a temporal relationship between hd therapy utilizing the fresenius 2008t hemodialysis machine and the patient event of cardiac arrest and death.However, there is no documentation to show a causal relationship between the adverse event and use of the 2008t machine.Additionally, there is no allegation of a machine malfunction or deficiency reported for this event.The patient became restless prior to the event and then became incontinent during the treatment which are both abnormal indications of an underlying health issue and could be an indication of the impending cardiac event.Although the cause of death was not obtained, ¿cardiac arrest accounts for a quarter of deaths among patients on dialysis.¿ based on the available information and no allegation or evidence of a malfunction or deficiency, the fresenius 2008t hemodialysis machine can be excluded as the cause of the patient¿s cardiac arrest with subsequent death.The plant investigation is in process.A supplemental mdr will be submitted upon completion of this activity.
