A getinge service territory manager (stm) evaluated the iabp and was unable to duplicate the problem after putting the unit to run on trainer for one hour.In addition, there were no errors or alarms in the fault logs, and the stm determined that there was no failure of the unit.No parts were replaced and all safety, functionality, and calibration checks were completed.Subsequently, the stm performed preventative maintenance (pm) service on the unit and completed all functional and safety tests which passed per factory specifications.The iabp unit was returned to the customer and cleared for clinical use.
