Manufacturer Narrative

The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and blood on the interior of the catheter.The male luer from extracorporeal tubing was cut and returned.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting and extracorporeal tubing was performed and one leak was detected on the membrane approximately 1.3cm from the rear seal measuring 0.03cm in length.The evaluation confirmed the reported leak, blood in tubing & slow gas alarm problem.The reported slow gas alarm and blood in tubing 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 contact with 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.Complaint # (b)(4).
