It was reported that during intra-aortic balloon (iab) therapy, the console generated a fiber optic sensor failure alarm.The customer explained that the alarm was intermittent and would resolve when they pressed the calibrate pressure button.The getinge representative suggested that they change the console out which resolved the issue temporarily.Later in the evening, the night shift rn, called with the same problem but said the alarm was staying on longer and longer.It was then suggested they switch over to the inner lumen of the catheter.However, it was discovered that the inner lumen was clotted.It was explained that they needed to obtain an alternate pressure source to appropriately time the console.The customer said they would have the provider place a radial line as soon as possible.There was no patient harm or adverse event reported.
