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 exchanged and 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 2nd iab used.A separate report has been submitted for the 1st iab under mfg report number 2248146-2023-00239.

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 catheter tubing and inner lumen near the y-fitting approximately 75.9cm from the iab tip.The technician attempted to insert a laboratory 0.025¿ guidewire through the inner lumen and resistance was only felt at the kinked location of 75.9cm.The condition of the iab as received indicated a kink on the inner lumen and catheter tubing.A kink in the inner lumen can cause difficulty monitoring the pressure waveform.We are unable to determine when the kink 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).
