the iab was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and small traces of blood on the exterior of the catheter.The inner lumen was found occluded with dried blood and was able to be cleared.The sheath was not returned for evaluation.
a laboratory insertion test was unable to be performed due to the membrane being unfurled.
an underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y fitting and extracorporeal tubing was performed and no leaks were detected.A leak may impact the ability to maintain vacuum.
the trend review did not identify a trigger of the trend data within the review period.The complaint history review did not identify an adverse trend increase in number of complaints over past three 3 months.
a dhr review was not conducted for this investigation.This complaint is not classified as a death or serious injury, nor did the investigation confirm a manufacturing defect.
we are unable to confirm the reported difficulty during insertion because of the returned condition of the catheter and we are unable to mimic the clinical setting.Per ifu the one way valve must be aspirated to 30cc while leaving the one way valve in place attached to the extracorporeal tubing luer to ensure vacuum is maintained throughout insertion.Additionally, no leaks were found which a leak could have indicated damage to the balloon.
