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 service territory manager (stm) was dispatched to evaluate the iabp and was unable to reproduce the reported issue.The stm set up a balloon, fiber optic tester, and trainer and ran performance tests.The fiber optic and balloon calibrated.The stm observed that the 2500 hour rebuild was due.The stm installed the 2500 hour maintenance kit and then performed all calibration, functional and safety tests on iabp, which passed.The iabp was returned to customer and cleared for clinical use.
