The product was returned with the membrane loosely folded and blood found on the exterior of the catheter.The insertion kit was also returned unused seal and intact.One kink was found on catheter tubing and inner lumen near the y-fitting approximately 76.5cm from the iab tip.The technician attempted to flush/aspirate the inner lumen and was unable to do so.The technician then attempted to insert a 0.025¿ laboratory guide wire through the inner lumen and resistance was only felt at the kinked location.The condition of the iab as received indicated a kink on the catheter tubing and inner lumen.This can cause difficulty during aspiration of the inner lumen.The evaluation confirmed the reported problem.We are unable to determine when this may have occurred.A device and lot history record review was completed for the reported product.No non-conformances were found that are considered to be related to the event.(b)(4).
