Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that after inserting the intra-aortic balloon (iab), the arterial pressure waveform was not displayed.It was noted that the cardiosave intra-aortic balloon pump (iabp) generated a no trigger alarm.The customer connected the iab to a different cardiosave iabp, but the issue persisted.The iab was then replaced with a new one, but the same problem occurred again.The iabp was switched again with another cardiosave but this did not resolve the issue.The second iab was also removed.Since the patient was stable, no further iabs were inserted.There was no patient harm or adverse event reported.This report is for the 1st iab used in this event.A separate report will be submitted for the 2nd iab.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and traces of blood on the exterior of the catheter.A kink was found on the inner lumen within the membrane approximately 22.6cm from the iab tip.The technician attempted to insert a 0.025¿ laboratory guide wire through the inner lumen of the returned iab and found that the inner lumen was kinked and occluded.The technician was unable to clear the occlusion, however evidence of dried blood was observed at the tip of the guide wire.The condition of the iab as received indicated an occlusion and a kink in the inner lumen.An occlusion or kink in the inner lumen can cause difficulty monitoring the pressure waveform.We are unable to determine when this may have occurred.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).
