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 three of four of peritoneal dialysis therapy.During troubleshooting, it was determined that there was a loose connection on the supply bag, which caused this alarm.The patient had two bags connected; one was empty and it appeared to have become disconnected from the supply line.The hp confirmed that they properly tightened the connection before the start of the therapy.Renal therapy services (rts) advised the hp to cycle the power off/on to clear the alarm and assisted the hp to start over using new supplies.Proper procedures per the user manual were reviewed with the hp.There was no patient injury or medical intervention associated with this event.No additional information is available.
