Manufacturer Narrative

The iab was returned cut in two parts with blood on the interior and exterior of the device.The sheath hub was returned over a portion of the membrane.The sheath tubing was cut fromt the sheath and not returned.The sensor cable and extracorporeal tubing was cut from the iab and not returned.Two kinks were observed on the inner lumen approximately 5.1cm and 6.1cm from iab tip.An underwater leak test of the portion of the balloon and catheter tubing was performed and no leaks were detected.The 2nd part of the membrane was unable to be leak tested due to the returned condition.However a visual examination of the membrane discovered a penetration on the membrane approximately 6.9cm from the iab tip measuring 0.064cm in length.The reported problem was most likely triggered by a leak which was found on the membrane.The penetration found on the membrane appears to have been caused by a sharp object.However, we are unable to conclusively determine the the primary cause of the event due to the returned condition of the device.The insertion was reported to be axillary, which is not the method described in the device instructions for use.This may have contributed to the iab failure.The evaluation confirmed the reported problem a lot history record review was completed for the reported product.No nonconformances were found that are considered to be related to the event.Reference complaint #(b)(4).
