Manufacturer Narrative
|
The production device history record (dhr) for this intra-aortic balloon pump (iabp) was not required to be reviewed per company standard operating procedure since the device manufacture date is greater than one year from the event date.A getinge field service engineer (fse) evaluated the iabp and verified several ¿gas loss¿ alarms in the diagnostic fault logs.However, the fse was unable to duplicate the alleged malfunction.The iabp passed all functional and safety tests per factory specifications and was returned to customer and cleared for clinical use.
