Manufacturer Narrative
|
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.The getinge stm that evaluated and discovered the subsequent issues deemed the unit as an "end of life" product and had discussions with the customer and it was confirmed that the unit was to be repaired and set back to factory standards before it could be cleared for clinical use.The stm then replaced the following parts: power supply and installed the 5000 hour kit on the motor, the condensation removal module, safety disk and batteries.However, the "low vacuum and auto-fill failure remained.The stm then replaced the blood detect tubing, purge manifold and drive manifold assembly, but the "low vacuum" alarm was still occurring.The decision was then made to take the unit to the stm's residence while the facility's administration decided whether to repair or scrap the unit, in the interim period, the stm then removed the old motor and checked all tubing for cracks and ordered a new motor and tubing to have on hand if repair was to move ahead.Subsequently the stm received approval from the facility approving the repair; new motor was installed along with all new vacuum tubing to create an established seal.The stm then ran all testing and put the unit to run overnight with a balloon attached; the unit passed all functional and safety tests per factory specifications and was thereafter returned to the customer and cleared for clinical use.
