It was reported that a patient began cs100 intra-aortic balloon pump (iabp) therapy on (b)(6) 2018 during an emergency reopen in the intensive care unit (icu).On (b)(6) 2018, as the patient was being readied to go to the theatre it was noted that the iabp was off.The iabp was turned back on and only half of the screen came on.The iabp was then turned off and on again and then the iabp appeared to work.The iabp was not replaced as patient was going to theatre to have the iab removed.It was later reported that the patient expired on (b)(6) 2018.The patient death was not reported to be attributed to the iabp.It was reported that the patient got a supposed clot in the leg with the balloon in and lost his leg above the knee.His cause of death was attributed to hypoxic brain injury given that he had a very low blood pressure during the reopen and even after the balloon was in, despite inotropic support.He also had graft failure listed on the death certificate.

The supplier/vendor has performed an analysis on the power supply and was unable to verify the reported failure.The power supply passed a screen power up.It was determined that the power supply needed cleaning, fan update/replacement and an updated printed circuit board (pcb).The pcb that is needed to complete the update would not be available until may 2019.A follow-up report will be submitted when additional information becomes available.

The supplier reported that in order to get a test result, they needed to repair the ac input section of the supply to get it to power on for a test.It was determined that the original findings at the tech bench of ¿no output¿ was caused by the cr1 rectifier bridge arcing which in turn caused the fuse to open.After fixing this cr1 fail mode, we were able to run the supply on the ate test to get the other data requested.The root cause of the failure has been determined.No further investigation is required.
