The production device history record (dhr) for this intra-aortic balloon pump (iabp) is not required to be reviewed per getinge standard operating procedure since the iabp was manufactured more than a year before the date of event.A getinge field service engineer (fse) evaluated the iabp and was unable to reproduce the reported "auotfill failure and leak in iab catheter alarms" issue.However, the fse was able to verify the alarms in the iabp¿s diagnostic error log and while testing the iabp, observed that the fill port luer had plastic threads completely engaged with metal fitting on the safety disk.To fix the issue, the fse replaced the luer fitting and performed full calibration.Subsequently, it was found that the calibration was out of specifications.The fse calibrated the autofill to within specifications.The iabp was able to pass all the leak tests, and the fse performed all functional and safety checks to meet factory specifications.The iabp was then released to the customer for return to clinical service.
