This report is being sent as follow-up no.1 to update section d4, d9, section h3, and to provide the completed investigation results.The actual device has been returned for evaluation.One tr band and inflator were returned for assessment.The sample was subject to visual analysis.No damage or deformities were noted on the band or inflator.1ml of air was left in the band.The sample was subject to leak testing.Approximately 18ml was injected into the band and submerged in a water bath for 30 seconds.Air bubbles were observed from the check valve.The sample failed leak testing.The check valve was deconstructed to check for damage or foreign matter.Upon deconstruction, a piece of foreign matter was found.The complaint can be confirmed for air leakage issues.The cause is foreign matter in the check valve.The operations quality engineer was notified about this issue and non-conformance (nc) was initiated.Nc will contain root cause analysis and corrective actions.Review of device history record (dhr) showed there were no issues noted during the 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).
