The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and blood on the exterior of the catheter and between the catheter and the sheath.No blood was observed inside the iab catheter.One kink was found on the catheter tubing approximately 42.4cm from the iab tip.A second kink was found on the catheter tubing and inner lumen approximately 55.4cm from the iab tip.A video was provided.The provided video revealed that blood was leaking from the sheath hub.An underwater leak test of the sheath, sheath seal, balloon, catheter, y-fitting and extracorporeal tubing was performed and no leaks were detected.A catheter tubing kink may cause an opening for blood to pass out of the sheath.However, the reported event cannot be confirmed by the evaluation.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.The failure mode is addressed in the risk file and is operating within its risk profile.The ifu addresses the reported failure.There were no ncmrs identified which could cause or contribute to the reported failure.The investigation does not indicate that the device was inadvertently released as non-conforming or an adulterated product or was a counterfeit.The complaint history review did not identify an adverse trend (increase in number of complaints over past three (3) months).Based on the rational provided above, no escalation to the capa process is required.Reference complaint # (b)(4).
