  • Notas adicionales en la data
    Although the company claims to have no reported patient harm associated with this occurrence, Baxter calls for careful monitoring of patients with low infusion volume before making clinical decisions based on the volume of ultrafiltrate shown through the HomeChoice System display. To monitor the fluid balance of the HomeChoice System when using very low filtrate volumes, the physician should rely on a physical examination of the patient. In addition, the volume of ultrafiltrate indicated by the HomeChoice System should be checked in order to make any necessary adjustment to the therapy in order to maintain the patient's dry weight. 02/17/2003 - The Tecnovigilâcia / ANVISA unit is checking the information provided by the company, regarding the technical procedures of the modifications with the customers.
  • Causa
    The company baxter hospitalar ltda informs about the use of the homechoice system, considering the latest version of the software 8.51, initially released in june 2002. this notice aims to notify doctors about the possibility of low volumes of ultrafiltrate when using low volume mode in automatic peritoneal dialysis (apd) therapy. under the conditions of use of low volume mode (infusion volume less than 200 ml), the equipment has a lower drained volume than the actual one. thus, if the physician considers only the volume indicated by the equipment may take improper conduct, increasing the ultrafiltration. such a measure may favor volume depletion for the patient. therefore, it is recommended that the conduct be based on physical examination of the patient, especially considering body weight and blood pressure.
