The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded with blood on the exterior of the catheter.The syringe and one-way valve were also returned separate from the iab.A catheter tubing kink was observed near the y-fitting at approximately 75.9cm from the iab tip.An additional inner lumen kink was also observed within the membrane at approximately 18.3cm from the iab tip.The one-way valve was tested and held vacuum a 0.025¿ laboratory guidewire was inserted through the inner lumen and was found to be occluded with dry blood.Unable to clear the occlusion.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting and extracorporeal tubing was performed and no leaks were detected.Kinks along the length of the inner lumen can cause difficulty inserting the iab through the sheath.However, we were unable to determine how this kink may have occurred.Unable to duplicate the clinical settings.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).
