Event Description
|
It was reported that during in use on a patient, the cardiosave intra-aortic balloon pump (iabp) generated a "catheter restriction" alarm.There were no indications of a leak present and the connections were secure when checked.Patient's flat suggested the possibility of a kink in the catheter.There was no unusual movement prior to the iabp alarming, and the patient was not on a ventilator.While a getinge representative was troubleshooting, the cardiologist walked in, and the nurse asked the representative to call back as he was assessing the situation.The representative then received an urgent call stating that the patient was coding; therefore, a call back was delayed about 45 mins.Upon calling back, the doctor reported trying to reposition the catheter which did not help.He stated that the patient's hemodynamics were good and was going to have the support discontinued.The patient was scheduled to go to the operating room and went for surgery about 30 minutes later.There was no report of patient injury or adverse event post-operatively.The related intra-aortic balloon (iab) to this event was reported under mfg report number 2248146-2018-00354.
