Fresenius Product Recall Attorneys Can Help

The Naturalyte Liquid Acid and GranuFlo Dry Acid Concentrate are used for the treatment of acute and chronic renal failure during hemodialysis. The concentrates are formulated for use with a three-stream hemodialysis machine, which is calibrated for acid and bicarbonate concentrates. These compounds are used as a dialysate solution – part of the compounds that help remove toxins from the kidneys during the dialysis and specifically the hemodialysis process. During hemodialysis patients attempt to remove creatinine, potassium, urea and free water that the kidneys can no longer process. Since the use of hemodialysis attempt to use ultrafiltration across the semipermeable membrane, it has to replace some key components back into the blood. One item that must be re-introduced is a sodium bicarbonate, which helps to correct blood acidity from the process.

Fresenius Medical Care, the largest dialysis company in the nation and manufacturer of Naturalyte and GranuFlo Acid Concentrate products, failed to properly warn doctors of the risk factors associated with dosage of the drugs. Unfortunately, these compounds had alkali dosing errors, which resulted in several adverse side effects.
