Visual and functional inspections were performed on the returned device.The reported difficulty removing the protective sheath could not be replicated in a testing environment since the protective sheath was not returned for analysis.The reported failure to deflate could not be replicated in a testing environment due to the condition of the returned device.The reported difficulty removing the device could not be replicated in a testing environment as it was based on operational circumstances.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other similar incidents and/or complaints from this lot.The investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported difficulty removing the protective sheath and failure to deflate; however, the reported difficulty removing the device and additional treatment appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respects to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
