Event Description
|
It was reported that during intra-aortic balloon (iab) therapy, the console displayed a fiber optic sensor failure message.The customer was walked through steps to disconnect the fiber optic cable and transduce the central lumen of the iab, but the waveform was very dampened.The lumen was sluggish to flush.A bedside radial arterial line offered a much better waveform and the console was switched to that arterial line successfully.There was no patient harm or adverse event reported.

Event Description
|
It was reported that after approximately 4.5 - 5 days of intra-aortic balloon (iab) therapy, the console generated a fiber optic sensor failure alarm.After one turn, the console went into standby and automatically switched from an ecg trigger to pressure trigger (without a change in heart rhythm or rate).It was noted that the patient was being moved when the failure occurred, requiring the console to be placed in stand-by and the iab manually re-inflated.At this time, there was a good arterial waveform and no iab waveform.The customer was unable to take the console out of standby so they switched to another console from the cath lab.Upon switching to the new console the arterial waveform was poor.The customer was walked through steps to disconnect the fiber optic cable and transduce the central lumen of the iab, but the waveform was very dampened.The lumen was sluggish to flush.A bedside radial arterial line offered a much better waveform and the console was switched to that arterial line successfully.There was no patient harm or adverse event reported.
