Evaluation summary: medtronic conducted an investigation based upon all information received.The device was available for evaluation.Visual inspection noted the lumen wall where the inflation line was inserted was damaged and punctured thus leaking.An inflation/deflation test was performed and it was observed the cuff deflated immediately.It was reported that the cuff of the endotracheal tube had an air leak.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: each tube¿s cuff, pilot balloon and valve should be tested by inflation prior to use.If dysfunction is detected in any part of the inflation system, the tube should not be used and should be returned to the manufacturer.Do not overinflate the cuff.It is recommended that the cuff pressure should not exceed 25cmh2o.Overinflation can result in tracheal damage, rupture of the cuff with subsequent deflation, or in cuff distortion which may lead to airway blockage.Visually inspect package integrity and device prior to use with consideration given to the specific warnings and cautions stated in this insert.Remove the sterile endotracheal tube from its protective package.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.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.
