The cbe upgrade was performed on this unit.
Therefore, this 2008k2 hemodialysis (hd) machine no longer falls within the scope of this recall.
Plant investigation: no parts were returned to the manufacturer for physical evaluation.
Additionally, no on-site evaluation of the unit was performed by a fresenius regional equipment specialist (res).
The unit was pulled from service for evaluation by the biomedical engineer (biomed) following the event.
However, no further details were able to be obtained regarding the status of the machine.
A records review was performed on the reported serial number.
An investigation of the device manufacturing records was conducted by the manufacturer.
There were no non-conformances or any associated rework during the manufacturing process which could be associated with the reported event.
In addition, the device history record (dhr) review confirmed the results of the in-progress and final quality control (qc) testing met all requirements.
