(b)(4).Visual inspection; functional inspection; device history review; complaint history review; risk assessment; the peek portion of the tube has two holes near the distal tip.Due to holes, the device cannot hold pressure while attempting to expand the implant.The root cause of the tubing set leakage is likely due to the cut on the distal end of the tube and is user related.
