This report is being sent as follow-up no.1 to provide the completed investigation results.The actual device was not returned; therefore, an evaluation of the actual device was unable to be conducted.The complaint cannot be confirmed for valve leakage because the complaint sample was not returned for assessment.The exact root cause could not be determined.Historically, valve leakages have been caused by off-center insertion of the dilator.Review of device history record 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 design failure mode and effects analysis (dfmea).
