This report is being sent as follow-up no.1 to update section d9, section h3, and to provide the completed investigation results.The actual device has been returned for evaluation.One tr band was returned to terumo medical corporation for assessment.The sample was subject to visual analysis.There are no damage or deformities noted on the band or balloon assembly.There is 0ml of air left in the balloon assembly.The sample was subject to leak testing.Approximately 18ml of air was injected into the band and submerged in a water bath for 30 seconds.There were no air bubbles observed from the balloon assembly or check valve.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 14.5ml 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, no damage or foreign matter was found.The complaint cannot be confirmed for air leakage issues because the returned sample passed all leak testing, and no damage or foreign matter was found in the check valve.The exact root cause cannot be determined.It is unlikely the reported issue is a manufacturing issue.Review of 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).
