One tr band and packaging label were returned for assessment.The sample was subjected to visual analysis.No damage or deformities were noted on the band or balloon assembly.There is 1ml of air left in the band.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.Air bubbles were observed from the check valve.The sample failed leak testing.The check valve was deconstructed to check for damage or foreign matter.Upon deconstruction, a piece of foreign matter was found.One tr band and packaging label were returned for assessment and the sample leaked at the check valve due to foreign matter.The complaint can be confirmed for air leakage issues.The cause is foreign matter in the check valve.Manufacturing was notified about this issue.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).
