The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and blood on the exterior of the catheter.A kink was found on the catheter tubing near the y-fitting approximately 75.9cm from the iab tip.The technician attempted to flush the inner lumen and was unable to do so.The technician then attempted to insert a 0.025¿ laboratory guide wire through the inner lumen of the returned iab and found that the inner lumen occluded.The technician was unable to clear the occlusion, however evidence of dried blood was observed at the tip of the guide wire.The condition of the iab as received indicated an occlusion in the inner lumen.We are unable to determine how this may have occurred.The evaluation confirmed the reported problem.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-2019 through mar-2021 was reviewed.Communication/interviews: (4111/213) communication/interviews were performed to obtain all possible information.Reference complaint # (b)(4).
