Manufacturer Narrative

The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and blood on the interior and exterior of the catheter and between the catheter and the sheath.
One kink was found on the catheter tubing approximately 34.
3cm from the iab tip.
An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting, extracorporeal and extension tubing was performed and one leak was detected on the membrane approximately 1.
5cm from the rear seal measuring 0.
038cm 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.
