The device was returned for analysis.The reported leak was unable to be replicated in a testing environment due to the condition of the returned device.The reported loose/intermittent connection was able to be confirmed as resistance was met when turning the indeflator into the lock position of the returned device.It is possible that inadvertent mishandling during unpackaging and/or during preparation for use resulted in compromising/damaging the device; thus resulting in the reported difficulties (leak, loose connection)/noted damages (faceplate gap, lock position resistance); however this cannot be confirmed.The investigation determined a conclusive cause for the reported difficulties cannot be determined.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.D10, h3 - it was initially reported that the device would not be returning for analysis.Subsequent information revealed that the device was returned for evaluation.H6: component code: 3083, 839 added.H6: type of investigation code: 4114 removed; 10 added.H6: investigation findings code: 213 removed.H6: investigation conclusions code 67, 18 removed; 4315 added.
