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.The getinge stm performing pm noted that upon review of the iabp log files, nothing unusual was identified except a normal fault code #77.To correct the issue, the stm replaced the scroll compressor, pressure muffler, and vacuum muffler.Upon further investigation, the stm identified saline inside the backplane to coiled cord cable, and on the pneumatic interface board and replaced the parts.Subsequently, the stm completed pm service including all safety, functionality, and calibration checks and all tests passed to factory specifications.The iabp unit was cleared for clinical use and released to the customer.The first name of the initial reporter has been abbreviated due to field character limit; the full name should read (b)(6).The initial reporter named is a getinge employee whose contact details are: telephone number (b)(6), email address (b)(6); which differs from that of the event site.
