Medtronic conducted an investigation based upon all information received.The device was available for evaluation.Visual inspection noted that the inflation line was partially broken at the connection to the flange-connector.A part of the inflation line was still inside the flange connector and presented bonding agent.Functionally, an inflation/deflation test was performed using a syringe.Air was applied to the cuff and it was observed that the cuff deflated immediately.It was reported that the cuff of the tracheostomy tube had inflation and deflation issues.The reported issue was confirmed.The most likely cause was determined to be manufacturing related.Internal process improvements have been initiated to mitigate this issue.Correction: d3 medtronic submits this report to comply with fda regulations 21 cfr parts 4 and 803.Medtronic has made reasonable efforts to provide as much relevant information as is available to the company as of the submission date of this report.This report does not constitute an admission or a conclusion by fda, medtronic, or its employees that the device, medtronic, or its employee caused or contributed to the event described in the report.Any required fields that are unpopulated are blank because the information is currently unknown or unavailable.Medtronic will submit a supplemental report if additional relevant information becomes known.
