Manufacturer Narrative

The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and blood on the interior and exterior of the catheter and between the catheter and the sheath.The returned sheath was over the catheter and covering half of the balloon.The returned sheath was not a maquet product.The extender tubing was also returned.The sheath tubing was found to be kinked at the proximal and distal end.Additionally the inner lumen was found stretched within the membrane along its length.A kink was found on the catheter tubing near the y-fitting approximately 77.2cm fromt the iab tip.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting, extracorporeal and extender tubing was performed and one leak was detected on the membrane approximately 1.8cm from the rear seal measuring 0.013cm in length.The evaluation confirmed the reported leak and difficulty to remove iab.Blood filled into the penetration of the membrane causing difficult removal of the iab.Under magnification, a whitish patch was observed around the leak.This whitish patch is the typical appearance of an abrasion mark which is caused by calcified plaque in the aorta.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).
