## PleurX App Description
The PleurX app is for patients and caregivers to manage their at-home drainage. The PleurX app is used on a smartphone or tablet. There is no connection between patients and clinicians directly through the app and it does not link to any hospital system or electronic health records. The users can access and download their drainage records. The PleurX app contains the Drainage Procedure IFU (Instructions for Use), supplemental wall chart drainage instructions, FAQ brochure, pamphlet on how to order more supplies and digital drainage log. In addition, the app provides links to instructional videos from the PleurX website, the contact number to PleurX Patient Navigators.. The app has optional fields for users to record pain levels, input drainage details and upload photos of the catheter site or drained fluid. Users can set a drainage schedule with reminders and pleural patients are notified to contact their physician when they have drained 50 mL or less 3 times per the IFU.

## PleurX App Reviews in United States

### ***-- "Pleurx cath abdominal option needed, right or left."
Please include an option for Pleurx abdominal catheter to track drainage.
-- Adamv58, 2024-12-17

### *---- "Painful to use"
No face or save password for login.  Doesn’t appear to synch across multiple devices for family to assist with reminders.  :(
-- RickP2099, 2023-08-08

### *---- "Doesn’t always update your input"
Works sometimes. 50% fail. I recommend always taking the photo with phone camera outside of this app. I’ve had to delete and re-install this app several times and try to enter data from days where it failed to hold the inputs. Tried to show the pulmonary team the records and all we saw was the filling PLEURX bottle animation for 5 min. Big bust. Luckily, I also recorded the drainage stats on paper.
-- Rocking in the tree tops, 2023-05-04

### *---- "MLeonard, caregiver"
I should have known not to trust an app when it comes to storing medical data. This app stopped working. It wouldn’t allow me to log in. Paper and pen is still the best.
-- Meeko's Mom, 2023-01-06

### *---- "Stopped working"
After two months of logging daily drainage, the app stopped working. All that data! Gone? This is a by-product of a monopoly.
-- Technobeam808, 2023-01-05

### *---- "Do NOT use this app"
I thought I could successfully store all my mom’s pleural effusion drain info on the app. On the 6th day it stopped working. We lost the previous 5 days of data. We were not wise enough to write it down on a paper log so we have only 1 day of data to provide her Pulmonologist. Shame on PleurX for taking advantage of us. No second chances with my mom’s health.
-- TessBode, 2022-12-06

### *---- "Unreliable and frustrating"
Doesn’t always work. Won’t save info. Can’t always log in. Unhappy with it.
-- Cathleenerrr, 2022-11-09

### ***-- "Update"
The crashing I experienced appears to be related to a glitch in the app - if you don't update every item, save the data, and then LOG OUT there is a high risk of a subsequent crash that requires deletion and reinstalling. If you log out every single time it appears to be far more reliable.
-- Quicksnail, 2022-10-14

### *---- "App stopped working abruptly"
Like every other PleurX review writer here, the app abruptly stopped working on us. Username / password are rejected despite being correct, even after uninstall / reinstall of app. This is squarely for the developers to fix. Please upgrade the app accordingly, patients’ ease, health records, and record-keeping are in the balance here!!
