Manufacturer Narrative

The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded with blood on the exterior and interior of the catheter and between the catheter and the returned maquet sheath.The pressure tubing and extender tubing were also returned.The catheter tubing/inner lumen/optical fiber were cut and separated from the iab assembly at approximately 55.4cm from the tip.An additional cut was observed on the membrane at approximately 11.7cm from the iab tip.At this same location, an inner lumen kink within the membrane was also observed.An underwater leak test of the balloon, y-fitting, catheter tubing and extracorporeal tubing was performed and a leak was detected at the membrane cut location and measuring approximately 2.54 cm in length.An additional leak point was also observed at the catheter tubing/inner lumen/optical fiber cut separation location.The evaluation confirmed the reported leak found on the membrane which appears to have been caused by a sharp object.However, we are unable to determine when this may have occurred.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).
