The device was not returned for evaluation.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 leak at the hub.Although a conclusive cause for the reported leak was not identified, the reported inflation issue appears to be related to operational circumstances of the procedure as it is likely due to the reported leak.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respects to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.D9/h3 - device available for eval updated from 'yes' to 'no'.
