A user facility clinic manager (cm) reported that an internal dialyzer blood leak occurred approximately three minutes into a patient¿s hemodialysis (hd) treatment.The blood leak was visually observed in the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer.The machine, a fresenius 2008t, alarmed appropriately with a blood leak alert.Fresenius bloodlines were used for the treatment.Blood leak test strips were used to test for the presence of blood, and they tested positive.There was no reported damage identified on the dialyzer.After the machine alarmed, treatment was halted and the patient¿s blood was not returned.The patient¿s estimated blood loss (ebl) was approximately 150 ml.It was confirmed there was no patient injury, no adverse effects were experienced, and no medical intervention was required as a result of the reported event.The patient was able to complete treatment after being set up with new supplies on a different machine.The dialyzer was reportedly available to be returned to the manufacturer for evaluation.
