Manufacturer Narrative
|
A clinical investigation was performed to identify a causal relationship between the hemodialysis (hd) treatment and the adverse event.Based on the provided information there is a possible causal relationship between the hd treatment on the fresenius 2008t machine and patient not feeling well, dizziness and hypotension resulting in administration of saline to the patient.The patient¿s symptoms could be a result of the approximately 200ml blood loss which resulted from the internal fluid leak in the machine.However, these are also common recurrent symptoms experienced during hd therapy.The plant investigation is in process.A supplemental mdr will be submitted upon completion of this activity. .
