Manufacturer Narrative

The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded with blood on the exterior and interior of the catheter and between the catheter and the returned non-maquet sheath.The sheath was covering the proximal taper end of the membrane.The extender tubing and pressure tubing were also returned.A catheter tubing/inner lumen kink was observed near the y-fitting at approximately 73.7cm from the iab tip.Additionally, an optical fiber break was also overserved at approximately 2.3cm from the rear seal.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting, extracorporeal tubing, extender tubing and pressure tubing was performed and a leak was detected on the membrane at approximately 2.3cm from the rear seal and measuring approximately 0.020cm in length.The reported problems were most likely triggered by the leak found on the membrane.Under magnification, a whitish patch was observed around the leak.This whitish patch is the typical appearance of an abrasion mark caused by a calcified plaque in the aorta.The evaluation confirmed the reported problem.A lot history record review was completed for the reported product.No nonconformances were found that are considered to be related to the event.Reference complaint #(b)(4).
