Device evaluation: one device was received for device analysis.Visual inspection performed and found a partial cut on the flange of the tracheostomy tube.The cut did not go all the way through the flange; it is only visible when the flange is bent.The customer reported complaint could be confirmed due to visual inspection of the damage.The probable cause is a molding error during manufacturing.
