Manufacturer Narrative

The production device history record (dhr) for this iabp unit is 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 evaluate the iabp unit and powered the iabp on and observed that the iabp completed all power on self-tests successfully.The stm allowed the iabp to remain in standby for approximately 30 minutes without any alarms or errors occurring.The stm connected a known system trainer, known balloon, and initiated pumping and allowed iabp to run for approximately 30 minutes without any errors or alarms occurring.The stm troubleshot the iabp and discovered fault code '67' had occurred 376 times indicating a potential failure with the front end board.The stm additionally discovered fault code '107' had occurred 190 times indicating a potential failure with the power management board.To address the issue the stm replaced the front end board and the power management board, and performed a full preventive maintenance (pm); safety, calibration, and functionality checks passed to factory specifications.The stm then powered the iabp on and allowed the iabp to remain in standby for approximately 30 minutes without any alarms or errors occurring.The stm then connected a known system trainer and known balloon and allowed the iabp to run for approximately 60 minutes without any errors occurring.The iabp unit was functioning in accordance with factory specifications.The iabp was then returned to the customer and cleared for clinical service.The power management board was requested to be returned for failure investigation.Once this investigation is completed, a supplemental report will be submitted.(b)(6).
