This report is being submitted as follow up no.1 to update section h3, and to provide the complete investigation results.This reported event has been reassessed and deemed not reportable based upon the investigation of the actual sample.One sealed and unopened tr band was returned for assessment.The sample was subjected to visual analysis.No damage or deformities were noted on the band or inflator.The sample was subjected to leak testing.Approximately 18ml of air was injected into the band and submerged in a water bath for 30 seconds.No air bubbles were observed from the inflation balloon or balloon assembly.The sample passed leak testing.The sample was subject to additional leak testing per per procedure.15ml of air was injected into the band and the band was placed in its holder for 12-24 hours.After 12 hours, the air was removed and 13.5ml of air remained in the band.The sample passed additional leak testing.The check valve was deconstructed to check for damage or foreign matter.Upon deconstruction, no damage or foreign matter was found.One sealed and unopened tr band was returned for assessment, and the sample passed all leak testing.The check valve was deconstructed, and no damage or foreign matter was found.The complaint cannot be confirmed for air leakage issues because the returned sample passed all leak testing and no damage or foreign matter was found in the check valve.The exact root cause cannot be determined.The device history record was reviewed to ensure that each manufacturing and inspection operation was performed.The review determined the process was performed and completed in accordance with terumo medical corporation specifications and procedures and the device was released in a conforming state.Currently, no action is recommended since the risk evaluation is within the predetermined limits in the hazard based risk table (hbrt).Therefore, this event is currently deemed a non-reportable event.
