Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluation: no parts were returned to the manufacturer for physical evaluation. The 2008t hemodialysis (hd) machine was evaluated at the facility by the fresenius regional equipment specialist (res). The res replaced the level detector module in response to the customer¿s report of tmp alarms occurring during patient treatment. 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-conformance or any associated rework during the manufacturing process which could be related to 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. The investigation into the cause of the reported problem was able to confirm the failure mode. The res had to replace the level detector module. Therefore, the complaint has been deemed confirmed.

Event Description

A fresenius regional equipment specialist (res) performed on-site service on (b)(6) 2017. After speaking with the customer, the res replaced the level detector module. All functional checks passed. It was stated by the res that the machine had alarmed during a patient treatment, but the patient was not removed from the machine and there was no patient injury. No parts are reported to be available to be returned to the manufacturer for evaluation.

Manufacturer Narrative

The plant investigation is in process. A supplemental medwatch report will be submitted upon completion of this activity.

Event Description

An area technical operations manager (atom) for a user facility reported that the fresenius 2008t hemodialysis (hd) machine was giving arterial pressure, venous pressure, and transmembrane pressure (tmp) alarms during patient treatment. The arterial drip chamber would run low or out of blood and the venous chamber would overfill and wet the venous transducer. The patient¿s blood clotted in the venous chamber, resulting in blood loss. There was no patient injury or adverse reaction reported. The patient¿s blood was returned and the staff changed the venous line and the patient completed treatment. The dialyzer is primed at 150ml/min. The machine is set-up with bloodlines and the venous chamber is primed. The arterial and venous transducer lines are clamped and hung from the pressure ports with the transducers attached. The machine self-test runs and when the patient arrives, the arterial and venous transducer lines are attached to the pressure ports and the hansen lines are connected to the dialyzer where the priming is completed. The dialyzer is inverted during the priming of the circuit. Following the event, the machine was removed from service for evaluation. The atom has troubleshooted the machine but has not identified the source of the issue. The machine continues to have the issue. The machine is currently in use at the user facility. No parts are reported to be available to be returned to the manufacturer for evaluation. No further information has been made available at this time.
