The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and traces of blood on the exterior of the catheter.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting and extracorporeal tubing was performed and a leak was detected on the membrane approximately 1.5cm from the rear seal measuring 0.013cm in length.The reported problem was most likely triggered by a leak which was found on the membrane.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).
