(b)(6).The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded with blood on the exterior of the catheter.The extender tubing was also returned.An inner lumen kink was observed inside the membrane at approximately 6.3cm from the iab tip.A flattened/deformed section on the catheter tubing was also observed from approximately 29.7cm through 45.5cm measured from the iab tip.Lastly, a catheter tubing/inner lumen/optical fiber break was observed at approximately 76.2cm from the iab tip.The evaluation confirms the presence of a kink, flat catheter tubing and broken fiber as ¿as analyzed¿ failures.However, we are unable to conclusively determine when these may have occurred.Therefore, the root cause is impossible to define.The failure mode is addressed in the risk file and is operating within its risk profile.The ifu addresses the reported failure.The device meets all product specifications (this sentence goes away if the complaint if confirmed).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).
