D9.Date returned to mfg: 16-dec-2024.H6.Investigation codes: updated.Investigation summary: received one (1) used list #67pfss45 pediatric tracheostomy tube.As received no damage or anomalies were observed.A syringe was attached to the pilot balloons of the tube and slowly inflated with 5ml of sterile water.The cuff of the set was observed to inflate as normal, no leakage observed.In attempts to visualize any leakage a syringe was attached to the pilot balloons of the tube and slowly inflated with 5ml of air and the set was put in a water bath.No leakage observed.The complaint of cuff leakage cannot be replicated or confirmed.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.
