Manufacturer Narrative
|
The production device history record (dhr) for this iabp unit was reviewed and no non-conformances related to the reported event were noted.Our field service engineer (fse) performed running test on the iabp.The incident reported was duplicated.The result of running test is that our fse suspects the replaced new solenoid driver board to be the problem and this was replaced.Further running test were performed without generating any problem.However, a return of the iabp has been requested for further evaluation by the manufacturer.A supplemental report will be submitted when more information becomes available.The full name of the event site is national cerebral and cardiovascular center, but was shortened due to the field character limit.

Event Description
|
Customer reported that during patient therapy on the critical care unit (ccu), the patient¿s condition got worse.At this stage, the patient had ventricular tachycardia (vt) and the intra-aortic balloon pump (iabp) had been shut down when the nurse came in.Although there were attempts to restart the iabp, the iabp did not restart.The iabp was replaced with another iabp to continue therapy.This event occurred after the new solenoid driver board was installed under the current field service corrective action.However, there was no patient death reported.
