Manufacturer Narrative

The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and blood on the interior and exterior of the catheter and between the catheter and the sheath.The extender and pressure tubing were also returned.Inner lumen was found to be occluded with dried blood.The occlusion was unable to be cleared.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting, extracorporeal, extender and pressure tubing was performed and one leak was detected on the membrane approximately 1.3cm from the rear seal measuring 0.025cm in length.The reported problems 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.The evaluation confirmed the reported problems.An abrasion leak is a known inherent risk and common failure mode 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).
