Event Description
|
It was reported that during intra-aortic balloon (iab) therapy, there was an iab disconnected alarm.When the staff attempted to remove the catheter, they were unable to do so.A small incision at the insertion site had to be made in order to remove the last 1-2 cm of the iab.The iab had been in use for approximately one day.After the iab was removed, the staff noted that there was blood inside the balloon.

Manufacturer Narrative

Updated field: serial #.Device evaluation: 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 returned sheath was over the catheter but it was not a maquet product.The extender tubing was also returned.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 and extender tubing was performed and a leak was detected on the membrane approximately 18.5cm from the rear seal measuring 0.038cm in length.The reported problems were most likely triggered by the leak found on the membrane.The penetration found on the membrane appears to have been caused by a sharp object.We are unable to determine when this may have occurred.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).
