Manufacturer Narrative

Corrected section: d4 - 'serial#' changed from (b)(6).The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded with blood on the exterior and interior of the catheter.A catheter tubing/inner lumen break was observed near the y-fitting at approximately 76.2cm from the iab tip.Additionally, the sensor cable was returned cut at approximately 40.1cm from the rear of the y-fitting.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting and extracorporeal tubing was performed and one leak was detected at the catheter tubing/inner lumen break site.The break found in the inner lumen appears to have been the result of a severe kink which eventually failed and allowed blood to leak into the membrane and catheter tubing, causing the reported problem.However, it is difficult to determine when the break occurred.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.Complaint record # (b)(4).
