Additional information: d9, g3, h3, h6.H3 evaluation summary: medtronic conducted an investigation based upon all information received.The device was available for evaluation.Visual inspection noted that the body of the cuff showed a pinhole and a series of small surface scratches using the microvu which measured 1.3mm in length.Functionally, an attempt to inflate the sample failed as the cuff deflated slowly.It was reported that the cuff of the tracheostomy tube had an air leak.The reported issue was confirmed.The most likely cause was the cuff body came in contact with a sharp utensil or object from the information available.The manufacturing records for each device are thoroughly reviewed prior to release to ensure that it meets all medtronic quality specifications.The instructions included with this device provide the following guidance: to ease insertion and to guard against cuff perforation from sharp edges of cartilage, taper back the cuff by deflating the cuff and gently moving it away from the distal tip of the cannula toward the neck plate as the residual air is removed by deflation.When tapering the cuff, do not use sharp instruments that would damage the cuff, such as forceps or hemostats.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.
