Manufacturer Narrative

The iab was returned with the membrane completely unfolded.No blood was visible on the catheter.The guide wire was also returned without any visible damage.A kink was found on the catheter tubing and inner lumen near the y-fitting approximately 73.7cm from the iab tip.Additionally a second kink was found on the inner lumen within the membrane approximately 6.9cm from the iab tip.The technician attempted to insert the returned 0.025¿ guide wire through the inner lumen and resistance was felt at the kinked locations.The condition of the iab as received indicated kinks on the catheter tubing and inner lumen.A kink in the inner lumen can cause difficulty during insertion of the guide wire.We are unable to determine when the kink 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.Analysis of production (3331/213) - the device history records review concluded that there were no ncmrs, rework, or deviations documented for the reported lot/serial number.Based on the review results, it was determined that there is no relation between the manufacturing process and the reported failure.Historical data analysis (4109/213) - the review of the historical data was performed.Trend analysis (4110/213) - the overall complaint trend data for the period dec-2019 to nov-2021 was reviewed.Communication/interviews: (4111/213) communication/interviews were performed to obtain all possible information.Reference complaint #: (b)(4).
