Medtronic conducted an investigation based upon all information received.The device was available for evaluation.Visual inspection noted the inflation line was separated and the inflation line presented a lack of bonding agent.Additionally it was observed the distal end was missing the molding, murphy eye, the cuff and notches since the tube was cut and the distal end was not received.It was reported that the pilot line was off from the endotracheal tube.The reported issue was confirmed.The most likely cause was determined to be manufacturing related.The instructions included with this device provide the following guidance: test the cuff, pilot balloon and valve for integrity by inflation prior to use.Insert a luer tip syringe into the cuff inflation valve housing and inject enough air to fully inflate cuff.After test inflation, completely evacuate the air.Check to verify that cuff inflation system is not leaking.Integrity of the system should be verified periodically during the intubation period.Any deviation from the selected seal pressure should be investigated and corrected immediately.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.
