Manufacturer Narrative

The condition of the iab as received indicated a kink on the inner lumen.A kink in the inner lumen can cause difficulty during insertion.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting and extracorporeal tubing was performed and no leaks were detected.A leak may impact the ability to maintain vacuum.The condition of the iab as received indicated multiple kinks on the inner lumen and damaged sheath.The evaluation confirms the reported problems.We are unable to determine how this may have occurred.A device and lot history record review was completed for the reported product.No non-conformances were found that are considered to be related to the event.Reference complaint # (b)(4); record id (b)(4).
