Manufacturer Narrative

'report source' should have excluded distributor in previous report.Device evaluation: the product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and blood on the exterior and interior of the catheter.The extender 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, y-fitting and extracorporeal and extender tubing was performed and one leak was detected on the membrane approximately 1.0cm from the rear seal measuring 0.02cm in length.A sensor output test was performed and the sensor was found to be within specification.The evaluation could not confirm the reported difficult/unable to monitor arterial waveform problem.An evaluation of the product was unable to duplicate the reported problem.A leak 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.Complaint # (b)(4).
