Manufacturer Narrative

The device was returned for analysis.The reported break was able to be confirmed.The reported leak and noise were unable to be replicated in a testing environment due to the condition of the returned device.It was noted that the face plate top tabhad an indentation and the faceplate, the gauge and the screen were separated from the indeflator housing.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other incidents from this lot.It is possible that inadvertent mishandling during shipment and/or during preparation for use resulted in the noted face plate top tab indentation; thus compromising the indeflator such that during inflation resulted in the reported break/noted faceplate/gauge/screen breaks; however this cannot be confirmed.The investigation determined a conclusive cause for the reported/noted breaks cannot be determined.The reported leak and reported noise were likely a result of the reported/noted device breaks.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.Na.
