Visual inspection and functional testing were performed on the returned device.The reported leak was not confirmed.Production record and corrective and preventative actions (capa) reviews were performed and revealed no indication of a product quality issue.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other similar complaints from this lot.Based on the reported information and the observations from the returned analysis, a definitive cause for the reported leak could not be determined.In this case, it may be possible that the sidearm and the syringe/inflation device (device use for preparation) did not form a secure connection or had a loose connection resulting in the reported leak; however, a conclusive cause cannot be determined since the complaint could not be confirmed during return analysis and the inflation component was not returned for analysis.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
