Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluation: 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 3.3cm from the iab tip.The technician inserted a laboratory 0.025¿ guidewire through the inner lumen and obstruction was felt at the kink location.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting, extracorporeal tubing and extender tubing was performed and no leaks were detected.The condition of the iab as received indicated an inner lumen kink.It is difficult to determine when the kink occurred, however, kinks might cause iab insertion difficulty.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).
