The production device history record (dhr) for this iabp unit is not required to be reviewed per (b)(4) since the device manufacture date is greater than one year from the event date.(b)(6).A getinge service territory manager (stm) was dispatched to evaluate this unit.The stm stated that the reported problem had to do with the fiber optic module.The unit would work fine otherwise, but the fiber optic sensors (fos) were not working.The stm looked at the fos and found a loose connection that supplied power from the fos to the iab fiber optic sensor.The loose connection was barely hanging on - it might have vibrated loose.To fix the issue, the stm, re-seated the connector and retested.The stm performed calibration and all functional tests per factory specifications.The iabp passed all tests and was returned to customer and cleared for clinical use.
