The hazard
According to the FDA, users reported instances of "Gas Loss in IAB Circuit" and "Gas Gain in IAB Circuit" alarms while providing therapy. An internal investigation determined that patient movement, blood in the circuit, kinks and abrasions of the tubing/catheter, certain patient conditions, and hardware issues could trigger these alarms without being listed in the IFU.
