Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluation: the product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and blood on the interior and exterior of the catheter and between the catheter and the sheath.The returned sheath was covering more than half of the balloon membrane but it was a competitor product.The returned inner lumen within the membrane was observed to be coiled.A visual examination of the product detected the inner lumen within the membrane was completely separated within a kink approximately 9.4cm from iab tip.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting and extracorporeal tubing was performed and no other leaks were detected.The evaluation confirmed the reported alarm, unknown & leak, blood in tubing problem.The break found in the inner lumen appears to have been the result of a severe kink, which eventually failed and allowed blood to leak into the membrane and catheter tubing causing the reported alarm, unknown and blood in tubing problems.It is difficult to determine when the break occurred but it is possibly a result of patient movement during the procedure.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).
