Manufacturer Narrative

The product was returned with the membrane loosely folded and blood on the exterior of the catheter.The sheath was not returned for evaluation.A kink was found in the catheter tubing approximately 49.3cm from the iab tip.- a laboratory insertion test was unable to be performed due to the membrane being unfurled.- the technician then attempted to insert a laboratory 0.018¿ guide wire through the inner lumen of the returned iab and found that the inner lumen was occluded.The technician was unable to clear the occlusion, however evidence of dried blood was observed at the tip of the guide wire.- an underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting and extracorporeal tubing was performed and no leaks were detected.A leak may impact the ability to maintain vacuum.We are unable to confirm the reported difficulty during insertion because of the returned condition of the catheter and we are unable to mimic the clinical setting.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.(b)(4).
