It was reported that a patient was having abdominal pain during their hemodialysis (hd) therapy on a fresenius 2008k@home machine and the machine began beeping.The patient pushed buttons (unknown which ones) and the machine began to alarm.The patient tried to manually pump the blood back but was too weak to do so due to having the flu.The patient¿s estimated blood loss was 100 ml.There was no patient injury or medical intervention required as a result of the reported event.The blood loss was attributed to the patient¿s inability to manually pump the blood back and not related to a machine malfunction.
