(b)(4).The sample was not returned for evaluation; however, the customer did provide a picture.Based on the review of the photo, the product tubing was torn.This may happen during mishandling of the product during use.At the manufacturing site, a 100% inspection and leak testing is performed; therefore, any defects would be detected prior to release.Without the device to evaluate the complaint could not be confirmed and the probable cause could not be determined from the available information.Teleflex will continue to monitor and trend for reports of this nature.
