Manufacturer Narrative
|
The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and traces of blood on the exterior of the catheter.Dried blood was found occluding the inner lumen.The occlusion was unable to be cleared.A sensor output test was performed and a pressure reading could not be obtained.The technician then used an optical light to see if there were any breaks in the sensor's optical fiber and a break was observed within the orange sensor cable near the y-fitting.The optical fiber was found to be broken, confirming the reported alarm, iab optical sensor failure problem.We are unable to determine when this may have occurred.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); record # (b)(4).
