On february 25, 2026, the evaluation for the device was completed.Device evaluation summary: during the visual analysis of the returned device no apparent damage or visual anomalies were observed.Leak testing was performed, in accordance with mentor procedures, and a tear on the anterior view was observed, near the valve system.In addition, no more leak sites were noted after leak testing.Microscopic examination was performed and the cause of the deflation could not be identified.Therefore a thickness measurement was conducted on the shell, and the thickness was within manufacturing specifications.Mentor also performed a manufacturing record evaluation related to the reported complaint for the finished device lot number.No manufacturing non-conformances were identified as part of this evaluation.Although no conclusion could be reached on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: according to the product insert data sheet, the valve system can be damaged by improper use of the fill-tube stylet.Care should be taken that the stylet enters the valve smoothly.Use the thumb and forefinger to stabilize/support the valve seat and gently push the stylet tip into the valve opening.Overstressing the valve material may result in punctures or tears and subsequent deflation may occur.Use only the fill tube style provided with this product.Take care not to puncture the diaphragm valve or the shell with the stylet tip.Care must also be taken when the fill tube style is removed to prevent damage to the valve assembly.As part of mentor's quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released according to approved specifications.Based on the results of this investigation, it was determined that the product met the manufacturing release criteria: no corrective and preventive action (capa) is required now.Additional complaint information monitoring for potential safety signals is conducted through complaint trending as part of post-market surveillance.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
