It was reported that a patient who was being treated with continuous renal replacement therapy, crrt, using a prismaflex control unit and a prismaflex filter set experienced blood loss and hypotension.
A communication error, code 7 alarm, was reportedly generated causing the prismaflex to enter a patient safe state and resulting in the termination of treatment.
Manual blood return was attempted, but the operator accidentally connected the saline bag to the return line and an unspecified volume of blood was entering the saline bag instead of being returned to the patient.
The patient reportedly became severely hypotensive, but no information was provided related to medical intervention provided.
The patient outcome was not reported.
No additional information is available.
