Exemption number e2019001-permits numbering sequence to begin with 10000, to avoid duplication of report numbers due to process transition.There may be gaps in numbering for reports submitted during the transition period.Visual, dimensional and functional analysis was performed on the returned device.The reported deflation issue was not confirmed.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no indication of a lot specific product quality issue.The investigation was unable to determine a cause for the reported deflation issue.It may be possible that the kinks noted in the shaft caused the inflation/deflation lumen to become closed off while in the anatomy preventing deflation; however, this could not be confirmed.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
