Manufacturer Narrative

The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded with blood on the exterior and between the sheath and catheter tubing.The sheath was attached to the catheter tubing at approximately 41.91 cm from the iab tip.An inner lumen and catheter tubing kink was observed at approximately 0.127 cm from the y-fitting.The fiber optic sensor was also found broken at approximately 5.08 cm from the iab tip.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting and extracorporeal tubing was performed and no leaks were detected.A guidewire insertion test was performed and no blood traces were found in the inner lumen.An occlusion was observed at the location of the kink.The evaluation confirmed the reported problem.It is difficult to determine when or how a break in the fiber optic occurs which caused no signal to appear or an inability to calibrate it.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 through nov-2021 was reviewed.Communication/interviews: (4111/213) communication/interviews were performed to obtain all possible information.Reference complaint #(b)(4).
