Manufacturer Narrative

The product was returned with the membrane loosely folded and blood on the exterior of the catheter.The guide wire was not returned for evaluation.Two kinks were found on the inner lumen within the membrane approximately 24.6cm and 25.1cm from the iab tip.The technician attempted to insert a laboratory 0.025¿ guidewire through the inner lumen and resistance was only felt at the kinked locations.The condition of the iab as received indicated kinks on the inner lumen.A kink in the inner lumen can cause difficulty during insertion of the guide wire.We are unable to determine when the kinks may have occurred.The evaluation confirmed the reported difficulty to insert the guidewire.We were unable to confirm a kink on the guidewire because the guidewire was not returned.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 nov-2019 through oct-2021 was reviewed.Communication/interviews: (4111/213) communication/interviews were performed to obtain all possible information.Reference complaint #(b)(4).
