Terumo medical corporation received the following information: it was reported that the tr band was noted to be losing air approximately forty-five minutes after completion of the procedure while the patient was in the post-operative area.When the tr band was removed off the patient, they inflated the balloons and when pressure was put on the balloons, they would deflate.There was no patient injury.Manual pressure was applied and hemostasis achieved.There was no blood loss.The patient remained stable.A total of 18 ml of air was injected into the tr band when it was initially applied to the patient¿s wrist.The tr band is typically left in place for sixty minutes before air titration begins for patients who receive less than fifty units of heparin, and for one hundred and twenty minutes for patients who receive more than fifty units of heparin.In this case, all of the air had already been lost from the tr band when titration was initiated in the post-operative area.There was no noticeable damage to the device, and the device had not been manipulated in any way prior to use or during storage.Before use, the tr band was stored in its original tr band box on enclosed shelves.The type of procedure performed prior to the use of the tr band was left heart catheterization (lhc).
