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 service territory manger (stm) was dispatched to evaluate the iabp and was unable to reproduce the reported issue.However, the stm was able to confirm the reported alarms in the iabp's error logs.The stm reported that the iabp failed the pneumatic module leak test several times in a row.To address the issue the stm removed and replaced the pneumatic module and then performed a full pm.All functional and safety tests were performed and passed to meet factory specifications, and the iabp was returned to the customer and cleared for clinical service.
