Other contact phone number: (b)(6).Updated field: b4, d3, d9, g3, g6, h2, h3, h6(type of investigation, investigation findings, investigation conclusions), h11 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 y-fitting¿s serial number was obscured by a black mark, making it unreadable.A kink was observed on the catheter tubing and inner lumen approximately 57.4cm from iab tip.A second kink was observed on the catheter tubing near the y-fitting approximately 73.9cm from iab tip.The inner lumen was found occluded with dried blood.The occlusion was able to be cleared.A sensor output test was performed and the sensor was found to be within specification.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.All failure modes related to balloon malfunction are addressed in the risk file and there individual complaint occurrence rates are within its risk profile.The ifu addresses the mitigations for all balloon failures.Each iab manufactured is 100 percent inspected and the controls put in place during the manufacturing of the iab would catch a defect and not allow non-conforming device to be released.The iab catheter is unknown based on the rational provided above, no escalation to the capa process is required.
