Event Description

This is a report of a patient who experienced an increased intraperitoneal volume (iipv) event coincident with peritoneal dialysis (pd) therapy.The event was discovered while reviewing the patient¿s treatment records following a report of a patient wanting to bypass because they were feeling empty and cramping.The patient bypassed drain 3 of 4 due to the large drain.A review of the patient¿s treatment records identified that the patient drained 4448 ml during drain 3 of the treatment.This drain volume is 193% the patient's prescribed fill volume of 2300 ml.As a result of the iipv event, the technical support representative advised the patient to discontinue use of the cycler and to notify their peritoneal dialysis registered nurse (pdrn) of the event.Upon follow up with the pdrn, it was confirmed that the patient did not experience any additional symptoms, adverse events, injuries, or require medical intervention as a result of the reported event.The pdrn stated that the patient¿s contact is trained on performing stat drains, as well as manual peritoneal dialysis therapy if needed, and stated the patient was able to complete the peritoneal dialysis treatment using continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (capd).The patient has received a new cycler which is working well and continuing with pd therapy without issue.The cycler was reported to be returned to the manufacturer for physical evaluation.

Manufacturer Narrative

Plant investigation: the actual device was returned to the manufacturer for physical evaluation.An external visual inspection was performed with no physical damage noted.A simulated therapy was initiated and completed on the cycler without failures.The weighed fill volumes were found to be within tolerance and fill times were within specification.The cycler underwent a system air leak and valve actuation testing and was found to meet product specifications.Load cell verification testing was performed with no issues noted.There were no discrepancies encountered in the internal inspection of the cycler.A review of the device manufacturing records was conducted by the manufacturer.There were no deviations or non-conformances during the manufacturing process.In addition, a device history record (dhr) review was performed and verified that the results of the in-progress and final quality control (qc) testing met all requirements.Upon completion of the evaluation, there were no malfunctions that could have caused or contributed to the reported event.The cycler performed as designed and an associated cause could not be determined.
