The initial reporter is a getinge representative.Pedro ore / phone number: (b)(6).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 non-maquet sheath.The extender tubing was also returned.A catheter tubing kink was observed near the y-fitting at approximately 76.5cm from the iab tip.The evaluation confirms the presence of a catheter tubing kink as an as analyzed failure.However, we are unable to conclusively determine when this kink may have occurred.Therefore, the root cause for the kink 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.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).
