Product analysis: visual inspection showed no outward signs of any damage.The device had a test mark, which confirmed the vrv one-way valve was tested prior to distribution.Functional testing of the returned device was performed at 0.5 l/min.The instructions for use provide an approximation for first time use of negative and positive pressures to open the umbrella relief valves at 0.5 l/min, blood flow are approximately -205 mmhg and 318 mmhg.Our results indicated the negative pressure umbrella opened at -167 mmhg and the positive pressure umbrella valve opened at 324 mmhg verifying the functionality for the valves for the returned device.The acceptable function of the umbrella valves also confirmed that the duck bill valve functioned as intended.The device appeared to operate as expected.The reason for return was not confirmed.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
