Corrected field :d4 ( udi #, model #,catalog #).Updated fields: b4,e1(event site state), d4( lot #,exp.Date )g3, g6, h2,h3,h4, h6(investigation findings, type of investigation, investigation conclusions), h11.The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and blood on the exterior of the catheter and between the catheter and the sheath.The returned sheath was over the catheter and partially covering half of the balloon.The extender tubing was also returned.A kink was found on the catheter tubing and inner lumen approximately 25.7cm from iab tip.The inner lumen was found occluded with dried blood.The occlusion was unable to be cleared.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 the iab did not inflate and a catheter restriction alarm occurred on the pump.The condition of the iab as received indicated a kink in the iab.This restricted the gas passage and resulted in the catheter restriction alarm.The evaluation confirmed the reported problem.The lot history record review was completed for the reported product.No nonconformances were found that are considered to be related to the event.The failure mode is addressed in the risk file and is operating within its risk profile.The ifu addresses the reported failure.There were no ncmrs identified which could cause or contribute to the reported failure.The investigation does not indicate that the device was inadvertently released as non-conforming or an adulterated product or was a counterfeit.The complaint history review did not identify an adverse trend (increase in number of complaints over past three (3) months).Based on the rational provided above, no escalation to the capa process is required.
