A getinge field service engineer (fse) was dispatched to evaluate the iabp unit and it was requested to the user to switch patient on another working unit so that suspected unit can be made available for testing purpose.The same balloon catheter which is connected to the patient is now switched to another working unit.That system started showing the same error message on it too.Then the balloon catheter is been replaced with the new one, no error message observed then after.Checked performance of the reported unit on iabp trainer & demo balloon catheter for more than 2 hrs., no issue observed.Performed all manifold test, passed ok.System working satisfactorily both on ac mains as well as on battery.Hence, problem found with the balloon catheter, which is already been replaced.The fse handed over equipment to customer in good working condition.
