Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The complaint information was reviewed and analysis of the returned unit.The inflation problem and leak were confirmed.A review of the lot history record revealed no manufacturing nonconformities that would have contributed to this complaint.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other complaints.The investigation determined that the reported inflation issue and leak was due to damage noted to the inner member.Although a cause for the damage could not be determined, there was no leak noted during preparation for use indicating that the damage was not pre-existing.Additionally, based on the evaluation of the returned unit and scanning electron microscopy analysis, the inner member damage may be attributed to mechanical damage and may suggest that an object was inserted into the inflation port; however, this could not be confirmed.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
