This report is being submitted as follow up no.2 to update the h3 section and to provide the completed investigation results.One used regular tr band assembly was returned for product evaluation.The inflator was not returned for product evaluation.Visual inspection revealed no anomalies with the balloons or the air inlet port.Leak testing was conducted, a tr band inflator was obtained and used to inflate the tr band with 15 ml of air.Digital pressure was applied to the large and small balloon to verify full inflation.The inflated tr band was then submerged underwater.No bubbles were observed along with the seals of the large and small balloons nor along with the air inlet port.The inflated band was left aside for 20 hours (>12 but <24 hours).After 20 hours, the tr band was deflated, and 13 ml of air was measured which conforms to the required specification of less than13ml.No leak was present during testing.Based on the provided information and investigation results there is no evidence that this event was related to a device defect or malfunction.The investigation results verified that the returned device was the normal product.However, the exact cause of the reported event cannot be definitely determined based on the available information.
