Manufacturer Narrative
|
The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and blood on the exterior.No blood was observed inside the iab catheter.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting, extracorporeal tubing and extension tubing was performed and one leak was detected on the membrane approximately 15.5cm from the rear seal measuring 1.17cm in length.The evaluation confirms the reported alarm, check iab catheter, leak and blood in tubing.The reported alarm and blood in tubing was most likely triggered by a leak which was found on the membrane.The penetration found on the membrane appears to have been caused by a sharp object.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).
