Manufacturer Narrative

Clinical investigation: a temporal relationship exists between hemodialysis (hd) therapy utilizing the fresenius 2008t dialysis machine, and the adverse event of cardiac arrest.The impetus for the cardiac arrest is unknown, therefore causality cannot be established.It is known however that chronic kidney disease patients are at high risk for cardiovascular disease (cv) and cv related events.On (b)(6) 2018 the charge nurse stated they did not suspect 2008t machine involvement.However, given the hd treatment and cardiac arrest occurred concurrently; a possible contributory role cannot be ruled out.Additionally, it is also unknown to what extent if any, the blood leak detected alarm contributed to the event.It is known that a variety of circumstances can affect the viability of blood monitoring devices during hd therapy.
