The user facility reported that the doctor finished a left heart cath with intervention.He placed the large tr band on correctly and achieved patent hemostasis.After breaking scrub, the tech notified that the site was oozing.So, the tech placed 5cc's of air back into the band and patent hemostasis was achieved again.After a min or so the tech noticed the site oozing again, so the tr band was removed, and a vasc band was placed.A glidesheath (60-1060) was the sheath they had in placed before placing the tr band.The doctor stated that the blood loss was very minimal.The patient had a history of chest pains.The estimated blood loss was less than 250cc's.The reported event did not result in patient injury and/or require medical or surgical intervention.There was no direct allegation that the reported device caused or contributed to patient injury and/or need for medical intervention.Additional information was received on 29jan2024: there was 15ml's of air injected into the tr band when it was applied.Approximately 45 seconds after it was noticed to be losing air.There was no noticeable damage to the band.The patient did fine.They swapped to a competitive band.

This report is being sent as follow-up no.1 to update section h3, and to provide the completed investigation results.One tr band and inflator were returned to terumo medical corporation for evaluation.The sample was subject to visual analysis.No damage or deformities were noted on the band or inflator.There is 0ml of air left in the balloons.The sample was subject to leak testing.Approximately 18ml of air was injected into the band and the band was submerged in a water bath for approximately 30 seconds.No air bubbles were observed from the band or balloon assembly.The sample was subject to additional leak testing.Approximately 15ml of air was injected into the band and the band was placed in its holder for 12-24 hours.After 12 hours the air was removed from the band and 14ml of air was left in the balloon assembly.The sample passed manual leak testing.The check valve was deconstructed to check for damage or foreign matter.Upon deconstruction a piece of foreign matter was found.The complaint can be confirmed for foreign matter contamination.The foreign matter in the valve likely contributed to the initial air leakage the user experienced.It is possible the foreign matter shifted during return to terumo and did not exhibit a leak during testing.The operations quality engineer was notified about this issue and a nonconformance was initiated.The nonconformance will contain root cause analysis and corrective actions.Review of the device history record (dhr) showed there were no issues noted during manufacture of the product that could have contributed to this complaint condition.Currently no action is recommended since this risk evaluation is within the predetermined limits in the hazard based risk table (hbrt).
