The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and blood found on the exterior of the catheter and between the catheter and the sheath.The returned sheath was over the catheter but it was not a maquet product.The extender tubing was also returned.A kink was found on the catheter tubing approximately 57.4cm from the iab tip.A second kink was found on the catheter tubing and inner lumen near the y-fitting approximately 71.4cm from the iab tip.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting, extracorporeal and extender tubing was performed and no leaks were detected.The iab was placed on the cardiosave pump and pumped for two hours which represents one complete autofill cycle.The iab pumped normally and no alarm sounded from the pump.The evaluation determined kinks in the catheter tubing and inner lumen.It is difficult to determine when or how a kink in the catheter occurs.Although we did not repeat this event in the laboratory setting, a kink in the catheter can cause inflation difficulty or an alarm.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).
