The recalled dialysis solution, GranuFlo, was blamed of premature death in a case filed by a woman from Mississippi, news reports say. The allegations against Fresenius Medical Care was filed by Mary Jane Brinkley almost two years after her husband died from the dialysis treatment using the recalled dialysis solution. The use of GranuFlo was approved by the Food and Drug Administration to be used concomitantly during dialysis treatment because it helps normalize the levels of bicarbonate in the blood. However, there were several patients who had developed dangerously high levels of bicarbonate.
Thomas Brinkley died shortly after experiencing chest pains following his dialysis treatment, in which Mrs. Brinkley stated that they were unaware of the possible side effects. Mr. Brinkley died of cardiac arrest as the paramedics were unable to revive him. Mrs. Brinkley believes that Fresenius Care is liable because the company did not disclose the possible dangers to patients.
