It was reported that after inserting the intra-aortic balloon (iab), it was working properly.However, after moving the patient from the table to the bed, the pump generated a fiber optic sensor failure alarm.The getinge representative had the customer remove and reinsert the fiber optic sensor, but the message continued.It was then recommended they remove the orange cable from the pump, coil it up and mark it "broken".They were then able to transduce the inner lumen to the pump, level, and zero it.The follow up texted image showed a normal looking non-fiberoptic waveform with indices.There was no patient harm or adverse event reported.
