Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that during use of balloon catheter intra-aortic balloon (iab) the intra-aortic balloon pump (iabp) displayed an appropriate waveform, but the pressure readings were abnormally low and inconsistent with the patient¿s clinical presentation and noninvasive blood pressure measurements.Despite no signs of a damped waveform, the pressures improved temporarily with site manipulation, suggesting possible catheter positioning issues or signal interference.After troubleshooting including flushing, electrode replacement, and restarting therapy the readings slightly improved but remained significantly lower than expected, prompting plans for catheter removal.

Updated fields: b4, g3, g6, h2, h3, h6 (type of investigation, investigation findings, component codes and investigation conclusions), h11.Corrected field: b5.The iab 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 not a maquet product.The pressure tubing was also returned.No kinks were detected on the returned iab catheter.The technician was able to successfully aspirate the inner lumen.The technician attempted to insert a laboratory 0.025¿ guide wire through the inner lumen and was able to successfully insert the guide wire.No obstructions were felt.The reported event cannot be confirmed by the evaluation.A 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.The device meets all product specifications.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.
