Event Description

It was reported that during intra-aortic balloon (iab) therapy, the catheter position migrated and was respositioned at the bedside, without using fluoroscopy.The customer stated that the iab migrated again, and they attempted to reposition on early (b)(6) 2024.Kink alars occurred prior, and during, the malposition time frame and with patient movement.A hematoma had developed at the insertion site on (b)(6) 2024 with cardiology and vasular awareness.The customer states that they planned to remove the iab catheter, and repar the hematoma/psuedoaneurysm site, on (b)(6) 2024 at time of left ventricular assist device (lvad) insertion.Iab rupture occurred on (b)(6) 2024 at approximately 11:55am with blood noted approximately 1/3 of the way up the helium line.The intra-aorta balloon pump (iabp) was put on standby and the catheter was removed.The insertion was reported to be axillary, which is not listed in the instructions for use (ifu).

Manufacturer Narrative

Updated fields: lot #, serial #, exp.Date, device available for eval?, manufacture date.Device evaluation: the product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded with blood on the interior and exterior of the catheter and between the catheter and the sheath.The returned sheath was over the catheter but it was not a maquet product.The extender and pressure tubing were also returned.A visual examination of the product detected the inner lumen within the catheter tubing was completely separated within a kink approximately 76.7cm from iab tip.The inner lumen was found occluded with dried blood.The occlusion was unable to be cleared.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting, extracorporeal, extender and pressure tubing was performed and no other leaks were detected.The evaluation determined a inner lumen break within a catheter kink causing the reported problems.It is difficult to determine when or how this occurred.The insertion was reported to be axillary, which is not the method described in the device instructions for use.This may have contributed to the iab failure.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).
