Upon receipt at our post market quality assurance laboratory, the an ams 800 occlusive cuff was thoroughly inspected and analyzed.The cuff component was visually inspected, microscopically examined, and tested for flow.A clear "gap" was identified in the cuff.Microscopic examination identified this as a silicone blockage.The flow test identified the occlusion indicated by decreased water flow through the cuff.Inspection of the remainder of the device, apart from the observed damage, revealed no other damage or irregularities.Product analysis identified a malfunction and confirmed the reported events.
