The user facility reported that at the end of the procedure and when trying to gain hemostasis on the radial artery wound, the tr band was attempted to be inflated but the balloons would not inflate therefore hemostasis was not achieved.Manual compression was applied and a new tr band was quickly issued to resolve the matter.There was no harm to the patient.

Manufacturer Narrative

This report is being submitted as follow up no.2 to update device evaluated by mfr, and to provide the completed investigation results.One tr band along with its inflator were returned for product evaluation.Visual inspection revealed there was no damage seen at the small and large balloons.There were no tears or hole in the balloons or at the air inlet port balloon.All welds on the device were consistent, there were no tears or holes in the welds.Functional testing was performed.While attempting to perform air leakage testing which requires inflating the device using the inflator, the device immediately deflated after the plunger was disconnected from the air inlet port.An x-ray image was taken of the air inlet port and no damage or gross anomalies were observed in the image.The air inlet valve was dissected from the device and observed under microscope.Foreign matter was discovered on the valve.The valve was sent out for ftir testing to analyze the nature of the foreign matter.The ftir result indicated that the foreign matter is a form of cellulose.A scratch mark was also observed on the valve and viewed under microscope.Based on the provided information and investigation results, there is no definitive evidence that this event was related to a device defect or malfunction.Based on the investigation results it is likely that the foreign matter observed did not allow for the air inlet valve to properly close therefore causing air to leak out.However, the exact cause of the reported event cannot be definitively determined based on the available information.
