Device evaluation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection and microscopic examination of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the sal silt contr diap pkg 275cc was found to have a tear on the anterior view near the valve system.A microscopic examination was performed, and the cause of the tear could not be identified.Although no conclusion could be reached on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: according to the product insert data sheet, the valve system can be damaged by improper use of the fill-tube stylet.Care should be taken that the stylet enters the valve smoothly.Use the thumb and forefinger to stabilize/support the valve seat and gently push the stylet tip into the valve opening.Overstressing the valve material may result in punctures or tears and subsequent deflation may occur.Use only the fill tube style provided with this product.Take care not to puncture the diaphragm valve or the shell with the stylet tip.Care must also be taken when the fill tube style is removed to prevent damage to the valve assembly.As part of mentor¿s quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
