Manufacturer Narrative

The plant investigation is in process.A supplemental mdr will be submitted upon completion of this activity. a temporal relationship exists between hd therapy utilizing the 2008k2 hemodialysis system, and the adverse event of cardiac arrest.Although the patient was connected to the 2008k2 hemodialysis system when the event occurred, there is no allegation indicating a fresenius product deficiency or malfunction caused or contributed to the patient¿s cardiac arrest.The occurrence of a cardiac arrest in hd patients is low considering the complex nature of the procedure.However, given the results of the functional compliance testing and the absence of treatment records and/or hospitalization summary; the 2008k2 hemodialysis system cannot be excluded from having a possible causal or contributory role in the patient¿s cardiac arrest, as there is insufficient evidence to conclude causality.
