Event Description
|
It was reported that after approximately five days of intra-aortic balloon (iab) therapy a fiber optic sensor failure occurred.Therapy was continued by obtaining the blood pressure information from an external monitor.It is believed that the fiber optic may have broken due to the patient moving around a lot and bending their leg.It was noted that another manufacturer's sheath had been used and a kink was seen on the sheath.There was no patient harm or adverse event reported.
