Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a customer noticed that 2 traches were deflating within 20 days of use.The cuff continues to deflate.The customer stated it appears to be an issue with the inflation valve as the pressure holds when we connect it to an extension tube with a manometer but without this pressure on the valve it deflates constantly.I have also noticed on removal there is a small amount of water within the cuff.No observable clinical symptoms or a change in symptoms identified in the patient.
