Manufacturer Narrative
|
The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and blood on the exterior of the catheter.The extender and pressure tubing were also returned.The optical fiber was found to be broken within the catheter tubing near the y-fitting approximately 76.2cm from the iab tip.The optical fiber was found to be broken, confirming the reported problems.It is difficult to determine when or how a break in the fiber optic occurs.However, a kink in the catheter can cause the fiber optic to break resulting in no signal, the inability to calibrate it or an alarm.A device and lot history record review was completed for the reported product.No nonconformances were found that are considered to be related to the event.(b)(4).
