Manufacturer Narrative

This report is being submitted as follow up no.3 to update section h3, and to provide the completed investigation results.One used regular tr band assembly and its inflator was returned for product evaluation.Visual inspection was performed.Fluoroscopic images of the air inlet port were taken.No anomalies were observed.Functional testing was performed.The sample was subjected to leak testing.The inflator was used to inflate the tr band with 15 ml of air.The inflated tr band was then submerged underwater.No bubbles were observed along the seals of the large and small balloons; however, air bubbles were seen at the air inlet valve.The valve was then deconstructed and examined under the microscope.Foreign matter was found in the air inlet port/valve.The sample was sent out for ftir testing to further analyze the nature of the foreign matter.The foreign matter was found to be consistent with polyacrylonitrile butadiene styrene.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 the air inlet valve to properly close which may have caused the reported event.However, the exact cause of the reported event cannot be definitively determined based on the available information.
