The full name of the initial reported listed is (b)(6).
A getinge field service engineer (fse) was dispatched to investigate.
The fse evaluated the iabp unit, tested the battery and confirmed that the battery life was low, shorter than expected.
The fse replaced the rechargeable batteries, expired safety disk and 2500 hour maintenance kit was installed.
Function and calibration were checked, and the iabp performed according to protocol.
The iabp was returned to the customer and cleared for clinical.
