Manufacturer Narrative
|
The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and blood on the exterior of the catheter with the one-way valve attached.No blood was observed inside the iab catheter.A video was provided and reviewed.A kink was observed on the catheter tubing near the y-fitting approximately 76.2cm from iab tip.The one-way valve was vacuum tested and it held vacuum.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting, and extracorporeal tubing was performed and no leaks were detected.The reported event cannot be confirmed by the evaluation.Arterial blood under pressure may run the length of the folds in the balloon membrane and drip or be expelled under arterial pressure from the balloon/catheter junction.This "channeling" is not a leak and will diminish as the iab catheter is inserted.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).
