    (B)(4). AN ALARM INDICATIVE OF A POTENTIAL MALFUNCTION OF THE DISPOSABLE CASSETTE WAS IDENTIFIED. AS THE CASSETTE WAS NOT RETURNED AND THE LOT NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN, A DEVICE ANALYSIS COULD NOT BE COMPLETED. HOWEVER, INITIATING THERAPY BEFORE CONNECTING 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 PROVIDES STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR WHEN AND HOW TO CONNECT TO THE DISPOSABLE SET. THE GUIDE ALSO INSTRUCTS TO CONNECT THE TRANSFER SET TO THE PATIENT LINE PRIOR TO STARTING THE INITIAL DRAIN. A FORMAL REVIEW OF THE LABEL FOR THE PRODUCT FAMILY WILL BE CONDUCTED. IF ADDITIONAL RELEVANT INFORMATION IS OBTAINED, THEN A FOLLOW-UP MDR WILL BE SUBMITTED.
