Reason
Manufacturer received questions from clinicians exploring modifying their use of Prismaflex Hemodialysis Unit, in order to minimize exposure to COVID-19-positive patients. For example, clinicians may be using multiple extension lines to extend the length of the tubing set to allow placement of a Prismaflex Hemodialysis Unit outside of the patient's room. As per manufacturer, several significant risks could arise with this practice. To mitigate these risks, manufacturer is recommending following the setup instructions in the graphical user interface, as well as the warnings from the Prismaflex operators manual. Failure to do so could result in serious patient harm.
