(b)(6).The production device history record (dhr) for this intra-aortic balloon pump (iabp) was not required to be reviewed per company standard operating procedure since the device manufacture date is greater than one year from the event date.A getinge field service engineer (fse) was dispatched to the customer's site.The fse evaluated the iabp and was unable to reproduce the reported issue.The iabp unit booted up fine upon initial operations check and worked properly.However, once the fse entered the iabp in service mode, he discovered two times that the drive pressure transducer was reading 580 mmhg with a current location barometric reading of 760 mmhg.The fse calibrated 30 psi pressure transducers and performed all functional and safety checks to meet factory specifications.Unit passed all functional and safety test per factory specifications.The iabp was then released to the customer and cleared for clinical service.
