Manufacturer Narrative
|
The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded with blood on the exterior of the catheter and between the returned maquet sheath and the catheter.The extracorporeal tubing and sensor cable were cut at approximately 8.4cm & 7.9cm from the rear of the y-fitting respectively.The cut pieces were not returned.Two catheter tubing kinks were observed at approximately 59cm & 74.4cm from the iab tip.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter tubing and y-fitting was performed and no leaks were detected.The iab was placed on the cs300 pump and pumped for two hours which represents one complete autofill cycle.The iab pumped normally and no alarm sounded from the pump.The reported event cannot be confirmed by the evaluation.However, kinks can cause difficulty filling the iab.We were unable to duplicate the clinical settings.A device and lot history record review was completed for the reported product.No nonconformances were found that are considered to be related to the event.Reference complaint # (b)(4).
