Updated fields: b4, e1 (event site state, event site postal code), g3, g6, h2, h6 (type of investigation, investigation findings, investigation conclusions), h11 corrected fields: b8, h6 (medical device problem code) revert the contents of section e1 (event site address line 2) to blank keeping 510k blanks as data not available.The iab was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and blood on the interior and exterior of the catheter.The extender tubing was also returned.The extracorporeal tubing was returned separate from the iab catheter.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y fitting, extracorporeal and extender tubing was performed and a leak was detected on the membrane approximately 1cm from the rear seal measuring 0.013cm in length.The reported problem was most likely triggered by a leak which was found on the membrane.Under magnification, a whitish patch was observed around the leak.This whitish patch is the typical appearance of an abrasion mark which is caused by calcified plaque in the aorta.A lot history record review was completed for the reported product.No non conformances 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.
