Manufacturer Narrative

The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and blood found on the exterior of the catheter.The sheath was not returned for evaluation.One kink was found on the catheter tubing approximately 29.2cm from the iab tip.Additionally two kinks were found on the catheter tubing and inner lumen near the y-fitting approximately 75.7cm and 76.2cm from the iab tip.A laboratory insertion test was unable to be performed due to the membrane being unfurled and the catheter and inner lumen kinked.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting, extracorporeal tubing was performed and no leaks were detected.A leak may impact the ability to maintain vacuum.The condition of the iab as received indicated a kink on the catheter tubing and inner lumen.A kink can cause difficulty during insertion.We are unable to determine when the kinks 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 through nov-2021 was reviewed.Communication/interviews: (4111/213) communication/interviews were performed to obtain all possible information.Reference complaint #(b)(4).
