The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and blood on the interior and exterior of the catheter.A visual examination of the product detected the inner lumen within the membrane was completely separated within a kink approximately 27.7cm from iab tip.A laboratory insertion test was unable to be performed due to the catheter¿s returned condition.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting and extracorporeal tubing was performed and no other leaks were detected.The break found in the inner lumen appears to have been the result of a severe kink, which eventually failed causing the reported problems.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).
