The product was returned with the membrane loosely folded with blood on the exterior of the catheter.The pressure tubing was also returned.A catheter tubing kink was observed near the y-fitting at approximately 71.6cm from the iab tip.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter tubing, y-fitting, extracorporeal tubing and pressure tubing was performed and no leaks were detected.The technician inserted a laboratory 0.018¿ guidewire through the inner lumen.No obstruction felt.The iab was placed on the cs300 pump for two hours, which represents one complete autofill cycle.The iab inflated normally, no alarm sounded.The reported pressure waveform issue cannot be confirmed by the evaluation.We were unable to duplicate the clinical settings.However, the evaluation confirmed the presence of a kink, which may have contributed to the reported event.A non-conforming material report review was completed for the reported product.No nonconformances were found that are considered to be related to the event.Analysis of production (3331/213) - the device history records review concluded that there were no ncmrs, rework, or deviations documented for the reported lot/serial number.Based on the review results, it was determined that there is no relation between the manufacturing process and the reported failure.Historical data analysis (4109/213) - the review of the historical data was performed.Trend analysis (4110/213) - the overall complaint trend data for the period apr-19 through mar-21 was reviewed.Communication/interviews: (4111/213) communication/interviews were performed to obtain all possible information.Reference complaint # (b)(4).
