Manufacturer Narrative

The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded with blood on the exterior and interior of the catheter and between the catheter and the returned maquet sheath.The catheter tubing was flat/deformed near the y-fitting at approximately 74.7cm from the iab tip.An underwater leak test of the balloon, y-fitting, catheter tubing and extracorporeal tubing was performed and a leak was detected from a tear on the membrane approximately 2cm from the rear seal and measuring 0.8cm in length.The tear found appeared to had been caused by a sharp object.This tear occurred at a whitish patch location on the membrane, which is the typical appearance of an abrasion mark caused by a calcified plaque in the aorta.However, due to the location of the tear, we were unable to determine if there was an initial abrasion leak at the tear region.We were unable to determine when the tear may have occurred.The presence of blood inside the iab 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.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).
