Investigation summary: the sample returned consisted of one (1) for p/n: 670190-sa and l/n: 4286836, returned sample was received used, in a plastic bag.During visual inspection it was detected that the cuff did not inflate symmetrically, one side was bigger than the other side.Symmetry measurement was performed to confirm if the value was less than 33% established in the bivona tt-fg-tj qp.The symmetry value was 44% (16/36*100).The failure mode of ¿a0122 - cuff asymmetry¿ was not confirmed.The sample was inflated with the use of a syringe and submerged under water to detect any problem in the inflation system.The sample worked as expected.Capa-000862 was opened on january 5th, 2022, to address root cause investigation cuffed products do not inflate symmetrically and leaks.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.
