Event Description
|
It was reported that during intra-aortic balloon (iab) therapy the console generated a check iab catheter 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 notified that they would continue troubleshooting as though it were a femoral insertion.The customer noted that the alarm came and went based the patient's movement.Troubleshooting and screen shots of the console screen revealed the iab was functioning appropriately, but did show a minor kink as evidenced by the rounded top of the iab waveform.It was reviewed as to why the alarm was coming and going with patient movement, coughing, etc.The customer was advised to use nursing judgment and hospital policy on caring for the insertion site as the movement was likely causing the restriction.There was no patient or adverse event reported.
