Manufacturer Narrative

The production device history record (dhr) for this intra-aortic balloon pump (iabp) was not required to be reviewed per getinge standard operating procedure since the device manufacture date is greater than one year from the event date.A getinge service territory manager (stm) was dispatched to investigate.The stm performed a non-invasive performance tests but did not change any settings.The stm was able to duplicate the reported error using his iabp trainer and a test catheter.The stm reviewed the error logs for the date of the incident and "check catheter" was displayed 5 times; however, no blood back alarms were reported on the date of incident because the blood seen by the operator in the iab catheter never reached the iabp.The stm was able to verify that blood back detection circuit works properly and alarms accordingly using the blood back test chapter of the service manual.The error/fault logs reflected the blood back faults that the stm generated but no other faults reported.The stm also noted that the iabp unit was due for preventative maintenance (pm) in september.Pms and service are performed by the in-house biomed shop.The iabp unit passed all functional tests.The stm believes that the unit is working within normal parameters and functioned properly during the balloon rupture in the patient during the procedure.Unrelated to the event, the stm noted that the unit was dirty and showed signs of saline intrusion and is going to require the 5000 hour kit.The biomed has been informed and noted this.The customer safety officer stated that they will be keeping the unit out of service in sequester until their investigation is completed.A supplemental report will be submitted when additional information is made available.
