Event Description
|
It was reported that during use on a patient, the intra-aortic balloon pump (iabp) experienced a blood back event.
Blood had been observed in the inner lumen line running to the flush bag.
The end user proceeded to flush the line until cleared.
It was noted that this took a few minutes.
Directly after, the patient developed some chest tightness and shortness of breath for a period of about 10 minutes.
The iabp unit had not been placed in standby per the instructions for use during the flushing.
The importance of performing flushing while the iabp unit was in standby was communicated to the customer and the possible clinical results if not followed correctly.
The end user stated the patient seemed fine clinically at the time and therapy was being delivered as expected.
The patient's chest x-ray was later provided which revealed that the catheter was not in the proper position.
This was communicated to the end user who later sent a text message stating the patient was doing fine.
At this time, the customer has not attributed this event to the device.
The associated intra-aortic balloon (iab) associated with this event has been reported under medwatch 2248146-2022-00300.
