Manufacturer Narrative
|
The iab was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and blood on the interior and exterior of the catheter and between the catheter and the sheath.The extracorporeal tubing was cut from the iab and not returned.No kinks were observed on the iab catheter.The technician 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.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter and y-fitting was performed and a leak was observed on the catheter tubing approximately 54.1cm from iab tip.The condition of the iab as received indicated a penetration on the catheter tubing and the inner lumen occluded with blood.An occlusion in the inner lumen can cause difficulty monitoring the pressure.The penetration found in the catheter tubing appears to have been caused by a sharp object.We are unable to determine how this may have occurred.The evaluation confirmed the reported difficulty to monitor the pressure.The evaluation was unable to confirm a kink.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).
