Manufacturer Narrative
|
(b)(6).The production device history record (dhr) for this intra-aortic balloon pump (iabp) was not required to be reviewed per company standard operating procedure since the device manufacture date is greater than one year from the event date.A getinge field service engineer (fse) was dispatched to investigate.The fse evaluated the iabp unit and upon initial inspection, found no damage to the ecg input port or the pressure input.The fse connected the leads from the anesthesia to a patient simulator and the ecg cable from the anesthesia to the input on the balloon pump in question.The ecg signal showed up immediately and the fse was able to control the beats per minute from the simulator and see the change immediately on the balloon pump.The fse found no issue with the cable or the balloon pump and was unable to reproduce the problem.The fse suggests, perhaps the customer had the ecg cable connected to the ecg output port on the balloon pump.Both ports are very close together and it is an easy mistake to make as the labeling is hard to read from standing because the safety disk blocks the view.Unit passed all functional and safety tests per factory specifications, returned to customer and cleared for clinical use.
