This report is being submitted as follow up no.1 to provide the completed investigation results.The actual device was not returned; therefore, an evaluation of the actual device was unable to be conducted.The complaint cannot be confirmed for air leakage issues because a sample was not returned for assessment.Without a sample, the exact root cause cannot be determined.Review of the device history record showed there were no issues noted during the manufacture of the product that could have contributed to this complaint condition.Currently, no action is recommended since the risk evaluation is within the predetermined limits in the hazard based risk table (hbrt).
