Section d.Suspect medical device changed serial number (b)(4) to (b)(4).Section d.Suspect medical device changed catalog # 0684-00-0567 to 0684-00-0575.Section d.Suspect medical device changed lot # 3000077564 to 3000088929.Section d.Suspect medical device changed exp date 07/13/2021 to 01/24/2022.Section h.Device manufacturers only changed manufacture date 07/13/2018 to 01/24/2019.Section d.Suspect medical device changed sensation plus 7.5fr.40cc iab to sensation plus 8fr.50cc iab.The facility reported sensation plus 7.5fr 00cc iab serial number (b)(4) but returned sensation plus 8fr 50cc iab serial number (b)(4).The returned product was evaluated.The iab was returned cut in two parts with the membrane completely unfolded and blood on the interior and exterior of the catheter.The extender tubing was also returned.One kink break was found on the catheter tubing and inner lumen approximately 0.3cm from the y-fitting.The optical fiber was found to be broken at this location.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting and extracorporeal tubing was performed and a leak was detected at the kinked location that penetrated the catheter tubing and inner lumen.The condition of the iab as received indicated a kink, optical fiber break and a catheter penetration confirming the reported problems.The penetration found in the catheter tubing and inner lumen appears to have been caused by a severe kink flexing back and forth that eventually penetrated the tubing and optical fiber causing the reported problems.A device and lot history record review was completed for the reported product.No nonconformances were found that are considered to be related to the event.Reference complaint #: (b)(4); record id: (b)(4).
