Updated fields: b4, g3, g6, h2, h6(medical device problem code, type of investigation, investigation findings, component codes, investigation conclusions), h11.Correction field: d1, d4, d10, h3.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 over the catheter and partially covering the rear portion of the balloon.The sensor cable, pressure and extracorporeal tubing were returned cut in two parts.A kink was observed on the catheter tubing approximately 39.6cm from iab tip.Upon receipt, the sensor cable was found cut into two separate parts.As a result, we were unable to perform the required sensor test.We were unable to conclusively determine if there was a problem with the ability to monitor the pressure waveform due to the returned condition of the iab as we were unable to fully evaluate the iab.The reported event cannot be confirmed by the evaluation.
