Manufacturer Narrative

The production device history record (dhr) for this intra-aortic balloon pump (iabp) was reviewed and no non-conformances related to the reported event were noted.A getinge field service engineer (fse) has evaluated the iabp and upon checking the pipeline, found traces of blood in the pipeline.However, the parts required to be replaced due to blood contamination have been ordered and will be replaced and tested by the dealers engineers who will also perform system calibration and testing.The fse also advised that he completed the iabp testing and the unit can be used normally, but has been temporarily returned to the dealer's office as the ordered parts are not yet available.If additional information is provided, a supplemental report will be submitted.Updated fields: b4, b5, d1, d4 (serial# and catalog#), d10, g4, g5, g7, h2, h3, h4, h6, h10.
