(b)(4).The product 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 datascope product.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting and extracorporeal tubing was performed and one leak was detected on the membrane approximately 1.8cm from the rear seal measuring 0.025cm in length.The reported problem was most likely triggered by a leak which was found on the membrane.Under magnification, a whitish patch was observed around the leak.This whitish patch is the typical appearance of an abrasion mark which is caused by calcified plaque in the aorta.Complaint #: (b)(4); record id: (b)(6).Supplemental # 1.
