Manufacturer Narrative

The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded.No blood was observed on the iab catheter.The guide wire returned was still inside the inner lumen and was found to be bent and unraveled.The technician attempted to remove the guide wire that was still inside the inner lumen and was able to remove the guide wire.The technician attempted to insert the laboratory 0.025¿ guide wire through the inner lumen but was unable to do so because the catheter and the inner lumen were kinked at various locations ranging from 14.5cm to 75.4cm from iab tip.The evaluation confirms the reported difficult to insert guide wire.We are unable to determine how the kinks occurred.A device and lot history record review and trend evaluation was completed for the reported product.No non-conformances were found that are considered to be related to the event.(b)(4).
