Event Description
|
It was reported that the patient's blood pressure decreased, and intra-aortic balloon pump (iabp) therapy was initiated again using a second balloon catheter.The same issue was reported where the arterial pressure waveform again appeared unstable.The intra-aortic balloon pump (iabp) unit was swapped out with a cs300 iabp; however, the issue persisted.Subsequently, the arterial pressure waveform has become stable and the patient had been reported in stable condition under iabp therapy.The patient's aortic arch was reported to be heavily tortuous and calcified.This report is for the second balloon used.

Manufacturer Narrative

The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded with blood on the exterior of the catheter and between the catheter and the returned maquet sheath.Two catheter tubing kinks were observed at approximately 42.2cm and 73.4cm from the iab tip.A laser test of the optical fiber was performed and break was observed within the sensor cable at approximately 177.8cm from the rear of the y-fitting.The optical fiber was found to be broken, confirming the reported problem.However, we are unable to determine when this may have occurred.A device and lot history record review was completed for the reported product.No nonconformances were found that are considered to be related to the event.Complaint record # (b)(4).
