Manufacturer Narrative

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.The extender tubing was also returned.The product type label on the y-fitting was not present.Two catheter tubing kinks were observed approximately 76.2cm & 74.9cm from the iab tip.The technician attempted to insert a 0.025¿ laboratory guidewire through the inner lumen and was found to be occluded with blood.The technician was able to clear the occlusion.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting, extracorporeal tubing and extender tubing was performed and a leak was detected on the membrane approximately 1.5cm from the rear seal and measuring approximately 0.06cm in length.The reported problem was most likely triggered by the leak found on the membrane.Under magnification, a whitish patch was observed around the leak.This whitish patch is the typical appearance of an abrasion mark caused by a calcified plaque in the aorta.The evaluation confirmed the reported problem.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).
