Manufacturer Narrative

The product was returned with the membrane loosely folded with traces of blood on the exterior of the catheter.The one-way valve was also returned.A catheter tubing/inner lumen kink was observed near the y-fitting at approximately 68.3cm from the iab tip.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting and extracorporeal tubing was performed and no leaks were detected.The one-way valve was vacuum tested and it held vacuum.A 0.025¿ laboratory guidewire was inserted through the inner lumen and obstruction was felt at the kink location.A laboratory insertion test was unable to be performed due to the returned condition of the iab.The evaluation found a catheter kink which could cause difficulty inserting the iab.However, we were unable to determine when this kink may have occurred.The evaluation confirmed the reported problem.A lot history record review was completed for the reported product.No nonconformances were found that are considered to be related to the event.Reference complaint #(b)(4).
