Clinical review: a clinical investigation was performed.
There is a temporal relationship between hd therapy on the 2008k2 machine and the patient event of cardiac arrest as the patient was in active treatment at the time.
However, there is no documentation in the file to show a causal relationship.
Additionally, there is no allegation of a machine malfunction or deficiency related to this event.
The patient was in the icu and very unstable prior to initiation of treatment.
There were no issues documented with the machine or the treatment.
Although the patient was resuscitated, she remains in the icu and has not continued with renal replacement therapy.
The facility does not require a manufacturer machine evaluation to be completed.
Based on the available information the 2008k2 machine can be excluded as the cause of the patient¿s adverse event.
The plant investigation is in process.
A supplemental mdr will be submitted upon completion of this activity.
