The account reported finding pressure bag deflated, and the customer reported that new medline pressure bags with clamp are not maintaining necessary pressure for devices.A sample was received for investigation; the pressure bag was inflated to a pressure reading of 300 mmhg and the valve was set to maintain this pressure, and after 5 hours the pressure reading remained at 300 mmhg and the bag did not look to be deflated.Based on the complaint details, sample evaluation, and investigation, the complaint is not confirmed.Review of the sample did not confirm the reported issue--the pressure bag maintained air, and the division will monitor this issue for trending purposes.There were no reports of death, serious injury, medical intervention, or follow up care.It has been determined that the reported event could cause or contribute to serious injury if it were to occur again.In an abundance of caution, this is a reportable event.If additional information becomes available this report will be reopened and reevaluated.This medical device report (mdr) is being submitted as part of retrospective review activities, which include review of historical data in accordance with regulations at 21 cfr part 803.The information included in this mdr reflects the information reasonably known to the manufacturer at the time of this retrospective review and submission.
