    The recalling firm identified a software issue related to the patient line check (plc) which may result in an increased risk of overfill (also known as increased intraperitoneal volume, iipv). overfill/iipv may result in serious injury or death.
  • Acción
    On 01/25/2018, the recalling firm sent Urgent Medical Device Correction letters to affected Home Therapy Nurse Managers (HTNs). On 01/31/2018, the firm sent letters to affected patients. The letters informed customers of the recall and stated that patients who are considered "slow drainers" and experience M65 Scale warnings during one or more drain cycles are at increased risk. On 03/29/2018, the firm sent out a second Urgent Medical Correction Letter to HTNs, followed by a patient communication sent on 04/02/2018. In the second communication, the firm amended that slow drainers can develop Overfill/IIPV even without receiving M65 scale warning. Health care providers and patients using the device were advised to monitor drain rates and address the reasons for slow draining, such as constipation, fibrin deposition, peritonitis, and catheter malposition. Health care providers were advised to continue to review risk factors and symptoms of Overfill/IIPV with PD nursing staff and patients with extended drain times. The firm is not requesting the return of the recalled device at this time.
