A user facility reported that a dialyzer blood leak occurred immediately after the initiation of the patient¿s hemodialysis (hd) treatment.There were no alarms from the fresenius 2008k hemodialysis machine used for treatment, as this was an external blood leak that was visually observed leaking from the dialyzer header cap.The patient¿s estimated blood loss (ebl) was approximately 3ml.There was no patient injury, adverse events, or medical intervention required as a result of this event.The patient was restarted on a new machine and treatment completed successfully with a new dialyzer.The complaint device was reportedly discarded.
