The production device history record (dhr) for this intra-aortic balloon pump (iabp) was reviewed and no non-conformances related to the reported event were noted.A getinge service territory manager (stm) was dispatched to investigate.The stm evaluated the iabp unit and observed a complete blood back.The stm noted that the entire pneumatic system needed to be replaced due to blood contamination and ordered all necessary parts.The stm returned to the customer's site at a later date and removed all contaminated parts and installed the drive manifold, safety disk, condensation removal module (crm), blood detect tubing, purge valve assembly, fill manifold bracket, single transducer block assembly, luer pneumatic component, reservoir assembly, hose, cable clamp, and the drive manifold insulator.Subsequently, the stm performed a complete pm including all safety, functionality, and calibration checks and all tests passed to factory specifications.The iabp unit was cleared for clinical use and released to the customer.
