Manufacturer Narrative
|
The product was returned with the membrane loosely folded and traces of blood found on the exterior of the catheter with the one-way valve attached.No blood was observed inside the iab catheter.A laboratory insertion test was unable to be performed due to the membrane being unfurled.An underwater leak test of the balloon, catheter, y-fitting and extracorporeal tubing was performed and no leaks were detected.We are unable to confirm the reported difficulty during insertion because of the returned condition of the catheter and we are unable to mimic the clinical setting.The returned condition of the product indicates that the reported leak, blood in tubing problem resulted from a condition known as ¿channeling¿.Arterial blood under pressure may run the length of the folds in the balloon membrane and drip or be expelled under arterial pressure from the balloon/catheter junction.This "channeling" is not a leak and will diminish as the iab catheter is inserted.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).
