Manufacturer Narrative

The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and blood found on the interior of the catheter and between the catheter and the sheath.The returned sheath was over the balloon membrane covering half of the membrane but it was not a maquet product.Two kinks were found, one on the catheter tubing approximately 76.5cm from the iab tip and another on the inner lumen approximately 21.8cm from the iab tip.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting and extracorporeal tubing was performed and three leaks were detected on the membrane approximately 23.1cm, 3.8cm and 3.6cm from the rear seal measuring 0.05cm and (2) 0.05cm in length.The optical fiber was found to be broken within the membrane approximately 24.4cm from the iab tip.The evaluation confirms the reported leak problem.The reported leaks were found on the membrane.Under magnification, a whitish patch was observed around the leaks.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.(b)(4).
