Manufacturer Narrative

The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and blood on the exterior of the catheter.The technician attempted to flush & aspirate the inner lumen and was unable to do so.The technician then attempted to insert a 0.025¿ laboratory guide wire through the inner lumen of the returned iab and found that the inner lumen occluded.The technician was unable to clear the occlusion, however evidence of dried blood was observed at the tip of the guide wire.The condition of the iab as received indicated an occlusion in the inner lumen.We are unable to determine how this may have occurred.The evaluation confirmed the reported problems.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).
