Users were identifying autofill failure conditions on the devices causing pump stops.

Users were identifying autofill failure conditions on the devices causing pump stops.

Users were reporting instances of "Gas Loss in IAB Circuit" and "Gas Gain in IAB Circuit" alarms while providing therapy. An internal investigation of the complaints determined that there is a potential trigger for these alarms that was not listed in the IFU: Patient Movement (coughing, general movement, and swallowing). Blood in the circuit, kinks/abrasions of the tubing/catheter and certain patient conditions could also trigger these alarms. The firm's HHE also identified hardware issues related to these alarms.

During IAB catheter insertion, the introducer dilator may fracture at the hub, leaving the body of the introducer dilator housed within the sheath. Risks to health include damage to the femoral artery, descending aorta, or embolization; surgical intervention and delay of IAB therapy may also result. Firm has received 10 complaints, including 3 serious adverse events and 1 patient death.

The digital IFUs provided with the Cardiosave IABP during the software update to version D.00 incorrectly annotated compliance to standard 60601-1-12:2014 within the updated IFU.

The power cord supplied (Type J plug end) for the Cardiosave Hybrid IABP to Brazil is incompatible with the Brazilian Type N power receptacle.
