It was reported that "the newer blood pressure cuffs we are using are going out at a quicker rate than they used to" and "the cuffs will still look brand new but will have issues like: leaking bladder, meters out of configuration, the screw ball that keeps the air pressure will release at a faster than normal rate so they¿re unable to capture or ensure accuracy of the readings".

The customer reported receiving a medline handheld aneroid that was giving incorrect readings during use, and reported issues including leaking bladder, meters out of configuration, and the screw ball that keeps the air pressure releasing at a faster than normal rate so they were unable to capture or ensure accuracy of the readings.At this time, a sample was not received for investigation, and no lot/serial number was provided by the account, even after multiple attempts to obtain information.The complaint was not confirmed.No further action was taken since medline was not able to investigate the sample or review a provided lot number/serial number, and the division has been informed and will continue to monitor trends.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.
