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.

More accurate drainage amount

The app doesn’t allow you to put the proper drainage amount. My drainage could be 325 and it doesn’t allow to chart that amount . We need to be able to chart accurate amounts. Other than this issue the app works good.

Hasn’t logged in in days, won’t give us a link to replace password

This was working wonderfully until about 3-4 days ago. Now, it won’t log me in (even though I know it’s the correct password and email), and won’t send me a link to set a new password if I do select “forgot password” to try to circumvent the issue. I haven’t been able to log any PleurX catheter drains in days, and I have no idea if the app will ever work again for us, and no customer service to contact to address the app issue.Not sure what’s gone wrong, but it seems to be on the developer end. I’ve tried the app on several different devices and am running into the same problem every time.

Very poor support app will not login

I have been using this app for several weeks. Now it will not login with the known correct password. I am not able to reset password. I am not able to create a new account. I have completely wiped app from device and reinstalled with no help. Also downloaded it to two additional devices I am still unable to login. I have called the support number several times and all I get is a run around with several people telling me that that’s not their department. The app would be a very useful tool if it were actually to work. Please provide better support.

I had the exact same problem logging in. It won’t accept my password or let me continue. I’ve tried forgot password and create an account. There is no response on the password and create an account wouldn’t let me past accepting terms. Please fix the issue. I rely on this app for information for my doctor. Thank you.
