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) was dispatched to investigate.The fse discovered that the iabp was retagged in jan 2019.The fse noted that the unit was designed for the obsolete universal transport system for which no parts are available.The battery compartment was damaged and the release levers for it were broken internally.The iabp unit had velcro securing it to the newer style cs300 hospital cart.No parts are available to replace these damaged parts and no upgrade path exists to upgrade this unit to properly attach to the new style hospital cart.The iabp unit also generates an electrical fault code #50, at startup.The iabp unit will not be repaired and will be removed from service.The iabp unit has not been cleared for clinical use.The full name of the event site is (b)(6)hospital & clinics.
