    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    THE PT'S PERITONEAL DIALYSIS RN CALLED TECH SUPPORT AT THE REQUEST OF THE PT'S WIFE TO COORDINATE THE PICKUP OF THE LIBERTY CYCLER SINCE THE PT HAD EXPIRED ON (B)(6) 2013. THE PD RN ADDED THAT THE WIFE STATED THE HUSBAND WAS BY HIMSELF WHEN THE EVENT OCCURRED AND THAT SHE HEARD A MUMBLED NOISE. ADDITIONALLY, SHE STATED THAT THE PT WAS CONNECTED TO THE CYCLER; HOWEVER, AT THE TIME OF THE CALL, SHE COULD NOT PROVIDE ANY ADD'L DETAILS OR CONFIRM THE STATEMENTS MADE BY THE PT'S WIFE. PD RN STATED THAT THE PT HAD AN EXTENSIVE PREEXISTING CARDIAC HISTORY WITH VERY POOR CARDIAC OUTPUT. DUE TO THESE CARDIAC ISSUES, SURGICAL REPAIR WAS A VERY RISKY OPTION AND WAS NOT GOING TO BE PERUSED. ADDITIONALLY, DUE TO OVERALL POOR HEALTH, HE MISSED THE TWO TREATMENTS PRIOR TO THIS EVENT.
