Manufacturer Narrative

The production device history record (dhr) for this intra-aortic balloon pump (iabp) is not required to be reviewed per getinge standard operating procedure since the iabp was manufactured more than a year before the date of event.A getinge field service engineer (fse) evaluated the iabp unit and was able to confirm the reported issue.When the fse replaced the power supply, it was found that the cable to power supply was burned.The customer ordered the cable and the fse replaced it.Unfortunately, after replacement of the power supply and the cable, the fse noticed that the batteries still were not charging.The fse traced the fault to a pushed in pin on the bulkhead connector on the rescue.The fse had ordered a bulkhead connector and replaced it.The fse then performed all functional and safety checks to meet factory specifications.Unit passed all functional and safety test per factory specifications.The iabp was then released to the customer and cleared for clinical service.The defective parts will be returned to (b)(6) for failure investigation.Additional information has been requested, and we will report accordingly when it becomes available.
