The plant investigation is in process.
A supplemental mdr will be submitted upon completion of this activity.
clinical investigation: a temporal relationship exists between hd therapy with the 2008t hemodialysis machine and the patient¿s cardiac arrest during hd therapy on (b)(6) 2019.
However, based on the information available, the 2008t hemodialysis machine can be disassociated from this event, as there is no evidence a machine deficiency or malfunction was associated with this event.
Per the nurse present at the event, the event was unrelated to the functionality of the 2008t hemodialysis machine.
The patient¿s reported instability was the primary causal factor in this event.
Additionally, the 2008t hemodialysis machine passed all functional compliance testing following the event.

Event Description
|
On (b)(6) 2019 a biomedical technician called fresenius technical support to request functional compliance testing on a 2008t hemodialysis (hd) machine.
The bio-medical technician reported this (b)(6)-year-old male patient with end stage renal disease (esrd) on hd for renal replacement therapy (rrt) cardiac arrested during hd therapy on (b)(6) 2019.
Follow-up revealed the patient was vented, and reportedly being dialyzed without the removal of fluid due to instability.
1:45 minutes into a 2.
0-hour hd treatment, the nurse noted the patient¿s heart rate was not registering on the ventilator and called a code.
The hd therapy was discontinued; however, no further details are available.
The patient survived the cardiac arrest; however, remains in critical condition.
During follow-up the nurse stated the patient¿s condition is not improving, and the patient can no longer tolerate hd therapy.
Additional details surrounding the patient¿s hospitalization were requested; however, the request was declined.
The nurse reported the cardiac arrest was unrelated to the functionality of the 2008t hd machine.
The nurse stated she was just following protocol when she requested the functional compliance testing and was not expecting any findings.
A fresenius regional equipment specialist (res) inspected the machine on (b)(6) 2019 confirmed the machine was performing within manufacturer specifications during the event.
All functional compliance testing was passed.
