Manufacturer Narrative

The iab was returned with the membrane completely unfolded.No blood was visible on the catheter.A portion of the extracorporeal tubing and male luer was cut from the iab and not returned.The sheath was not returned for evaluation.No kinks were observed on the iab.However there was a bend found on the inner lumen within the membrane approximately 21.6cm from the iab tip.A laboratory insertion test was unable to be performed due to the membrane being unfurled and the inner lumen bend.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting, extracorporeal tubing was performed and no leaks were detected.A leak may impact the ability to maintain vacuum.The condition of the iab as received indicated a bend on the inner lumen.A bend in the inner lumen can cause difficulty during insertion.We are unable to determine when the bend 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 reference complaint #(b)(4).
