Manufacturer Narrative
|
The iab was returned unused with the membrane folded inside the t-handle.No blood was visible on the catheter.The insertion components were also returned.The sheath was not returned for evaluation.The 0.035¿ returned guide wire was found to be near the middle.The one-way valve was vacuum tested and it held vacuum.A laboratory insertion test was performed using a 7.5fr laboratory sheath since the sheath was not returned for evaluation.The technician was able to successfully insert the balloon through the sheath.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting, extracorporeal and extender tubing was performed and no leaks were detected.A leak may impact the ability to maintain vacuum.The evaluation confirms the reported bent guide wire.We are unable to determine how this occurred.We are unable to confirm the reported difficult/unable to remove iab from patient and difficulty during insertion because we are unable to mimic the clinical setting and the sheath not returned.Complaint # (b)(4), record # (b)(4).
