Manufacturer Narrative
|
A cut/separated portion of the product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded with blood on the exterior and interior of the catheter.The cut/separation was made at the catheter tubing at approximately 43.4cm from the iab tip.At this same location, the inner lumen and optical fiber were also cut/separated.An underwater leak test of the balloon and partial catheter tubing was performed and one leak was detected on the membrane approximately 1.4cm from the rear seal and measuring approximately 0.04cm in length.The reported problem was most likely triggered by the leak found on the membrane.Under magnification, a whitish patch was observed around the leak.This whitish patch is the typical appearance of an abrasion mark caused by a calcified plaque in the aorta.The evaluation confirmed the reported problem.A lot history record review was completed for the reported product.No nonconformances were found that are considered to be related to the event.The failure mode is addressed in the risk file and is operating within its risk profile.The ifu addresses the reported failure.There were no ncmrs identified which could cause or contribute to the reported failure.The investigation does not indicate that the device was inadvertently released as non-conforming or an adulterated product or was a counterfeit.The complaint history review did not identify an adverse trend (increase in number of complaints over past three (3) months).Based on the rational provided above, no escalation to the capa process is required.Reference complaint # (b)(4).
