It was reported that a homechoice device experienced a system error 2240 (air in line/set) alarm.The home patient (hp) was connected at the time of the alarm.This occurred during dwell four of six of peritoneal dialysis (pd) therapy.During troubleshooting, it was reported that it was wet under one of the empty supply bags, which led to this alarm.The hp could not find the source of the leak.Baxter technical services (bts) had the hp close all the clamps and cycle the power off and on to clear the alarm and end the therapy.Bts advised the hp to disconnect using aseptic technique and remove the cassette.The hp will notify their peritoneal dialysis registered nurse of missed therapy.There was no patient injury or medical intervention associated with this event.No additional information is available.
