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 unit and was able to reproduce the reported issue.
The fse found the k4 solenoid to have a slight leak during autofill calibrations test.
To fix the issue, the fse replaced the fill manifold assay and verified there were no longer any leaks.
During further leak tests k6, k6a, k7, and k8 test #3 failed.
To address this issue, the fse replaced the drive manifold, and performed all functional and safety checks to meet/and met factory specifications.
The iabp was then released to the customer and cleared for clinical service.
