Upon receipt at our quality assurance laboratory, this artificial urinary sphincter (aus) underwent a thorough analysis.The balloon was visually inspected and underwent leak testing.A large tear was found in the balloon shell at the sphere -adapter junction consistent with material fatigue.Based on the information available and analysis results, the tear found in the balloon could have caused or contributed to the reported clinical observation of mechanical issue; therefore, a conclusion code of cause traced to component failure was assigned to this investigation.
