    (B)(4). AN ALARM INDICATIVE OF A POTENTIAL MALFUNCTION OF THE DISPOSABLE CASSETTE WAS IDENTIFIED. THE DEVICE WAS NOT RETURNED AND THE LOT NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN; THEREFORE, A DEVICE ANALYSIS COULD NOT BE COMPLETED. HOWEVER, IMPROPERLY DISCONNECTING/RECONNECTING FROM THE SET IS A KNOWN CAUSE OF THIS ALARM. PROPER USER INSTRUCTIONS ARE ADDRESSED IN ¿THE HOMECHOICE AND HOMECHOICE PRO APD SYSTEMS PATIENT AT-HOME GUIDE¿ WHICH IS SHIPPED WITH EVERY HOMECHOICE DEVICE. THE GUIDE HAS INSTRUCTIONS ON THE STEPS TO PROPERLY DISCONNECT FROM CYCLER DURING AN EMERGENCY AND EXPLAINS HOW TO RECONNECT FOR THERAPY AFTER PROPERLY DISCONNECTING. A FORMAL REVIEW OF THE LABEL FOR THE PRODUCT FAMILY WILL BE CONDUCTED. SHOULD ADDITIONAL RELEVANT INFORMATION BECOME AVAILABLE, A FOLLOW-UP REPORT WILL BE SUBMITTED.
