Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).The analysis of the data record of the dialog+ machine shows an unobtrusive preparation phase.The data shows that there was a restart of the dialysis machine shortly after the patient connection.From the trend it is not comprehensible whether this was caused by a power failure or whether the operator switched the machine off and on again manually.After the machine had restarted again, it was in bypass mode until the conductivity of the dialysis fluid was re-established.Shortly thereafter, the arterial pressure increased from -170 mmhg to 40 mmhg.This pressure increase was obviously caused by the administration of the saline bolus described by the customer.About 11 minutes after therapy start, the patient's blood was reinfused and the therapy finished prematurely.During this short therapy the alarms "abpm: sys press.Is too low" (alarm code 9101) and "abpm: dia press.Is too low" (alarm code 9104) were triggered several times indicating the patient's low blood pressure.According to the information from the customer, the patient typically had low blood pressure.The analysis of the trend data showed that the dialog+ machine and the automatic blood pressure monitoring module (abpm) operated as intended.There was no malfunction.If additional pertinent information becomes available a follow-up report will be filed.
