Event Description
|
It was reported that during intra-aortic balloon (iab) therapy, the console generated a gas loss alarm.The insertion was reported to be axillary, which is not the method described in the device instructions for use.The customer was made aware of the off-label use and continued to troubleshoot as if it were a femoral insertion.The customer confirmed that a chest x-ray had revealed good placement of the iab.The customer checked for blood in the helium tubing and verified that all connections were secured on every occurrence of the alarm.The doctor stated the positional nature of the alarm.The customer was then advised on the option of lowering the augmentation bars by 1-2 in order to reduce the sensitivity of the alarm.There was no patient harm or adverse event reported.
