Event Description

It was reported that during use on a patient, the cardiosave intra-aortic balloon pump (iabp) generated a ¿system over temperature¿ alarm and stopped pumping.The iabp was rebooted and the iabp restarted pumping.Approximately an hour later, the same alarm occurred and stopped pumping again.The customer replaced the iabp with a cs100 iabp to continue therapy.The iab catheter was not replaced.It was noted that a decrease of arterial pressure was seen.It was noted 110mmhg when the augmentation was set, but it was down to 90mmhg when self-inflation was used.No patient harm, serious injury or adverse event was reported.

Manufacturer Narrative

A getinge field service engineer (fse) evaluated the iabp unit and was able to reproduce the reported issue.The fse determined that the cause of the issue was the threaded probe temperature sensor.The fse replaced the temperature sensor to address the issue and opted to replace the scroll compressor as a precautionary measure.The fse continued to perform a preventative maintenance on the iabp unit.The iabp was tested, passed to factory specifications and cleared for clinical service.
