It was reported that the intra-aortic balloon pump (iabp) ac and external helium tank connections are disconnecting from the cart intermittently while moving the device.
In addition, the display is not showing ac even when the unit is connected to ac.
The console needed to be removed and inserted again to reconnect the ac and external tank.
This connection issue with ac and external tank is found during movement of cardiosave unit.
This event occured before use on a patient, thus no adverse event was reported.
