Event or Problem Description

|
It was reported that three revaclear dialyzers presented an internal blood leakage.The reporter stated that immediately after starting therapy, the non-baxter machine presented a ¿blood leak detected¿ alarm.The treatment was stopped and the blood in the circuit was not returned to the patient.A second dialyzer was then set up on the same machine; again, the machine alarmed.Treatment was stopped, and the blood from the second dialyzer was also not returned to the patient.The nurse moved the patient to a different non-baxter dialysis machine.Within minutes of starting the treatment, the machine presented a ¿blood leak detected¿ alarm.The third setup was taken down and the blood was not returned to the patient.The patient was then set up a fourth time with a dialyzer of a different lot number, and was able to successfully complete therapy.Upon further review by the customer, the three leaking dialyzers were found to have come from a damaged box.There was no patient injury or medical intervention associated with this event.No additional information is available.
