Manufacturer Narrative
|
The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and blood on the interior and exterior of the catheter and the membrane.The returned sheath was over the catheter but it was not a maquet product.The extension tubing was also returned.Dried blood was found occluding the inner lumen.The occlusion was unable to be cleared.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter and y-fitting was performed and one leak was detected on the membrane approximately 1.8cm from the rear seal measuring 0.02cm in length.The evaluation confirmed the reported problem.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 device and lot history record review was completed for the reported product.No non-conformances were found that are considered to be related to the event.(b)(4).
