Manufacturer Narrative
|
The production device history record (dhr) for this intra-aortic balloon pump (iabp) was not required to be reviewed as per company standard operating procedure since the device manufacture date is greater than one year from the event date.A getinge service territory manager (stm) was dispatched to evaluate the iabp.The stm was able to verify the reported alarm in the iabp's diagnostic error log.This error is indicative of a fiber optic module issue and the alarm log showed the error was a three minute process.The stm removed all the boards in the pcb cage and reseated them.The stm then completed all diagnostic and performance tests and could not duplicate any issues.The stm ran the fiber optic test several times and could not duplicate the errors.All functional and safety tests were passed to meet factory specifications, and the iabp was returned to the customer and cleared for clinical service.
