Other, other text: additional information: b5, d4: catalog number, lot number (previously reported as serial number), h6 - health effects codes.H3 and h6 - evaluation codes: updated.Device evaluation: a custom device was received for investigation.Visual inspection identified discoloration and staining from biological matter and damage to the inflation balloon and eyelet.The airway balloon appeared to have been severely chewed; the inflation valve was missing as well as a portion of the silicone that formed the balloon.The eyelet on the right-side when the device is in situ had a tear at the top of the reinforced eyelet that was completely torn through.There was evidence of cuts on the other eyelet that with continued use of a velcro tie would likely propagate into the cut through the reinforced eyelet.The investigation did not identify any manufacturing defects with the returned devices.The cuffs were not damaged and inflated/deflated without issue.The damage identified during the investigation for the device was user inflicted.A review of the device history record (dhr) shows there were no observations or nonconformities recorded during manufacture to suggest an issue of this nature would occur with this lot of products.No corrective actions are planned at this time.Icu medical regularly analyzes complaint data and trends and will take further actions accordingly.
