Manufacturer Narrative

The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded with traces of blood on the exterior of the catheter.The extender tubing was also returned.The returned maquet sheath was partially over the catheter.Two kinks were found in the catheter tubing approximately 44.2 & 76.5 cm from the iab tip.Additionally, the sensor cable & extracorporeal tubing were returned cut in 2 pieces.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting, extracorporeal and extender tubing was performed and no leaks were detected.The iab was not able to be placed on the cs300 pump due to its returned cut condition.The evaluation determined that there were two kinks in the catheter.It is difficult to determine how or when these kinks in the catheter occurred.Although we did not repeat the event in the laboratory setting, a kink in the catheter can cause an inflation difficulty or an alarm.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).
