Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and traces of blood on the interior and exterior of the catheter.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting and extracorporeal tubing was performed and a leak was detected on the membrane at approximately 2.0cm from the rear seal measuring approximately 0.025 cm in length.The reported problem was most likely triggered by a leak which was found on the membrane.Under magnification, a whitish patch was observed around the leak.This whitish patch is the typical appearance of an abrasion mark which is caused by calcified plaque in the aorta.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).
