(b)(4).The customer report of a leaking sheath was not able to be confirmed by visual inspection of the customer supplied photos.The customer provided two photos for analysis.Visual analysis revealed that the sheath body was separated; however, it cannot be verified if a leak was present without the sample returned for analysis.Dimensional and functional inspection could not be performed as no sample was returned.Additional testing could not be performed as no sample was returned for analysis.A device history record review was performed, and no relevant findings were identified.Without the device to evaluate, the probable cause could not be determined from the available information.Teleflex will continue to monitor and trend for reports of this nature.
