Event Description

It was reported that during intra-aortic balloon (iab) therapy, the console generated an iab catheter restriction alarm.The customer stated that this had occurred several times in the last two shifts.There was no blood in the helium tubing.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.The pump was functioning alarm free at this point.The customer was advised that there may be a kink within the vasculature and to continue to monitor for blood if the alarm occurs again.It was also advised that they could consider dropping the augmentation several bars and press the "fill" key as needed when it happens.There was no patient harm or adverse event reported.
