The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and blood on the exterior of the catheter and between the catheter and the sheath.A kink was found on the inner lumen and catheter tubing approximately 40.9cm from the iab tip.The optical fiber was found to be broken within the membrane approximately 17.3cm from the iab tip.The optical fiber was found to be broken, confirming the reported problem.We are unable to determine when this may have occurred.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).
