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 field service engineer (fse) that discovered the issue replaced the power slot interface board; however this did not resolve the issue.
The fse examined the iabp and found saline was spilled inside the iabp; the fse indicated that the spill might have caused component damage to the power management board, the fse order and replaced it.
The fse reported that the iabp was experiencing power failure during compressor startup; to fix this issue the fse replaced the compressor, drive manifold, motor control board without solving the issue.
The fse then replaced the backplane and this improved the condition of the iabp.
However, the compressor would not turn on, to address this latest issue the fse replaced the motor control board.
The fse then performed 30psi calibration and passed; the fse indicated that the printer was not working on the iabp, to fix this issue the fse replaced the printer interface.
A full pm was performed and all functional and safety tests were performed and passed to meet factory specifications, and the iabp was returned to the customer and cleared for clinical service.
A supplemental report will be submitted upon failure investigation completion by getinge's national repair center.
