Manufacturer Narrative
|
The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and blood on the interior and exterior of the catheter.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 tubing was performed and one leak was detected on the membrane approximately 1.0cm from the rear seal measuring 0.05cm in length.The reported blood in tubing & alarm, gas gain 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 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).
