'brand name' changed from linear 7.5 fr.40cc to mega 7.5fr.40cc.Catalog #' changed from 0684-00-0475 to 0684-00-0293.The product was returned with the membrane completely unfolded and extracorporeal tubing attached.The original guidewire (0.025") was returned with the product.Traces of blood was observed on the y-fitting.No kinks were observed on the catheter.The technician attempted to insert the original returned guidewire (0.025") through the inner lumen of the returned iab and found that the inner lumen was occluded.The technician was unable to clear the occlusion and evidence of dried blood was observed at the tip of the guide wire.The condition of the iab as received indicated an inner lumen occlusion.The evaluation confirms the reported problem.It is difficult to determine when the occlusion occurred, however, if this occurs during the procedure, it can cause guidewire insertion difficulty.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.Complaint record # (b)(4).
