Qn#: (b)(4).Teleflex received the device for investigation.The reported complaint of iab blood in helium pathway is confirmed based on visual inspection of the device.The cause of the complaint was unable to be determined due to the returned state of the device.The iab was returned with a broken central lumen and damaged outer lumen.Additionally, the iab bladder had a full thickness abrasion.The appearance of the abraded area is consistent with repeated contact with calcified plaque on the aortic wall.It cannot be confidently determined which damage occurred first.The root cause of how the blood entered the helium pathway is undetermined.A device history record (dhr) review was conducted for the lot number with no relevant findings.The device passed all manufacturing specifications prior to release.Teleflex assessed the risk for the reported complaint.There are no new or revised risks.This will be monitored for any developing trends.No further action required at this time.
