It was reported that during use on a patient, the cardiosave intra-aortic balloon pump (iabp) message "fiber optic module sensor failure" was shown.The message appeared when the fiber-optic balloon was transferred from one cardiosave to another when the patient was transferred between hospitals.From the display, the cardiosave still used the fiber-optic signal as pressure source.The iabp and balloon were used until the patient was weaned off.No patient harm, serious injury or adverse event was reported.
