This report is being submitted as follow up no.1 to update section h3, and to provide the completed investigation results.One used regular tr band assembly was returned for product evaluation.Visual inspection revealed that no anomalies were noted.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 and air bubbles were seen at the inflation balloon.No bubbles were observed along with the seals of the large and small balloons.The inflation balloon was viewed under microscope and a tear was noted at its bonding to the check valve.Based on the returned device, the complaint can be confirmed for airflow issues since air bubbles were observed during leak testing at the check valve.A tear in the inflation balloon was noted on the device which likely caused the air flow issue.The operations quality engineer was notified of this complaint and a non-conformance report (nc) was initiated to further investigate this issue.The device history record was reviewed, and no anomalies were noted.
