Manufacturer Narrative
(b)(4). Teleflex received the device for investigation. The reported complaint of blood in the helium pathway is confirmed. The bladder had a full thickness abrasion which allowed blood to enter the iab. The appearance of the abraded area is consistent with repeated contact with calcified plaque on the aortic wall. A device history record (dhr) review was conducted for the lot number/serial number with no relevant findings. The device passed all manufacturing specifications prior to release. Teleflex assessed the risk for the reported complaint. There are no new or revised risks. No further action required.
