This report is being submitted as follow up no.1 to provide the completed investigation results.H6 - results - 3211 is based upon the visual inspection of the returned sample; 213 is based upon functional testing of the returned sample.One 5fr destination sheath and dilator were received for product evaluation.Visual inspection revealed damage at the distal tip of the dilator sheath.The sheath was then subjected to leak testing.The distal end of the sheath was inserted into a 12 fr balloon.The distal end of the balloon was connected to a controlled air supply system.The 3-way stopcock (3wsc) was closed, and the air pressure was increased to 4.3 psi (equivalent to 222 mmhg).The setup was submerged underwater for approximately 30 seconds.No air bubbles were observed.A dilator for investigational purposes was then inserted into the sheath.This assembly was submerged in water, and no bubbles were detected for 30 seconds.Based on the provided information and investigation results, there is no definitive evidence that this event was related to a device defect or malfunction.The investigation results verified the returned sample was of the normal product.Based on the damage observed, it is likely that the sheath was not securely tightened to the sheath hub.However, the exact cause of the reported event cannot be definitively determined based on the available information.
