H3 and h6 - evaluation codes: updated.Device evaluation: one sample was returned without the original package.During visual inspection, a cut in cuff was detected.Functional testing found the cuff won¿t inflate, complaint was confirmed.The potential cause for pinhole in the cuff is due to method not followed (incorrect handling of cuff).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 action taken.
