It was reported that during intra-aortic balloon (iab) therapy, the iab would not fill.The customer attempted using the iab on three different consoles, but each time it attempted to fill the console would alarm and go into standby mode.The customer decided to replace the iab with a second one.Upon opening the sterile packaging of the second iab, condensation was noticed in the helium tubing.A third iab was then used and therapy was continued successfully.There was no patient harm or adverse event reported.This report is for the 1st iab used in this event.A separate report will be submitted for the 2nd iab used.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and traces of blood on the exterior of the catheter.The extender tubing was also returned.The inner lumen was found occluded with dried blood.The occlusion was unable to be cleared.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting, extracorporeal and extender tubing 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.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).
