The initial reporter named is a getinge employee whose contact details are: pedro ore/ phone number: (b)6).E-mail address:(b)(6); which differs from that of the event site.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, which was covering the rear taper end of the membrane.The extender tubing and pressure tubing were also returned.A catheter tubing/inner lumen kink were observed at approximately 71.9cm from the iab tip.The evaluation confirms the presence of a kink and optical fiber break as an as analyzed failure.However, we are unable to conclusively determine when these may have occurred.Therefore, the root cause is impossible to define.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).
