Manufacturer Narrative
|
The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded with traces of blood on the exterior of the catheter.The extender tubing was also returned.A catheter tubing/inner lumen kink was observed near the y-fitting at approximately 75.7cm from the iab tip.At this same location, the optical fiber was found to be broken.The technician attempted to insert a 0.025¿ guidewire through the inner lumen and resistance was felt due to dry blood and the catheter tubing/inner lumen kink.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting, extracorporeal tubing and extender tubing was performed and no leaks were detected.The condition of the iab as received indicated a kink on the catheter tubing and inner lumen.A kink in the inner lumen can cause difficulty aspirating the iab.We are unable to determine when the kink may have occurred.The evaluation confirmed the reported problem.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).
