Clinical investigation: a temporal relationship exists between hemodialysis (hd) therapy utilizing the 2008k2 machine and the adverse event(s) of numbness, pain and vascular damage which required hospitalization and surgical intervention.The etiology of the event(s) is attributed to the over-inflation of a blood pressure cuff; however, the cause of the over-inflation is unknown; therefore, no causality can be fully established.Over-inflation of a blood pressure cuff has the potential to cause injury if not properly monitored.Based on the limited information available, the 2008k2 machine cannot be disassociated from the event(s).There are no treatment records available for review, and the machine was not returned to the manufacturer for functional compliance testing.It cannot be confirmed whether or not the machine malfunctioned with the information available.As such, a possible causal or contributory role in the patient¿s adverse event(s) cannot be excluded.The plant investigation is in process.A supplemental mdr will be submitted upon completion of this activity. .
