The device was returned for analysis.The reported material separation was able to be confirmed.The reported leak was unable to be replicated in a testing environment due to the condition of the returned device.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.As there was no damage noted to the device during the inspection prior to use, it is possible that inadvertent mishandling during preparation for use and/or during use resulted in the noted multiple scratches throughout the indeflator housing; thus compromising the indeflator such that during use resulted in the reported leak and the reported material separation /noted faceplate/gauge separations and the noted housing separation; however, this cannot be confirmed.The investigation determined a conclusive cause for the reported/noted difficulties cannot be determined.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
