Manufacturer Narrative
|
The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded with traces of blood on the exterior of the catheter.One kink was found on the inner lumen approximately 25.4cm from the iab tip.An additional 3 kinks were found on the catheter tubing approximately 39.1, 46.7 & 76.2cm from the iab tip.The technician attempted to insert a 0.018¿ laboratory guide wire through the inner lumen.Due to a blood occlusion, the guide wire was not able to reach the kink location.The condition of the iab as received indicated kinks on the catheter tubing and inner lumen.We are unable to determine when the kink may have occurred.Kinks on the inner lumen can cause difficulty during iab insertion.The evaluation confirmed the reported problem.A device and lot history record review and trend evaluation was completed for the reported product.No nonconformances were found that are considered to be related to the event.Record id: (b)(4).Autonumber: (b)(4).S/n: (b)(4).
