    THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORD FOR LOT 30117544 WAS REVIEWED AND THE PRODUCT WAS PRODUCED ACCORDING TO PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS. THE ACTUAL COMPLAINT PRODUCT WAS RETURNED FOR EVALUATION. THE ENTIRE CLOSED SUCTION CATHETER WAS EXAMINED, AND THE SLEEVE WAS FREE OF TEARING OR DAMAGE. THE MANIFOLD WAS FREE OF CRACKS OR ANY DEFORMATION. THE IRRIGATION ASSEMBLY APPEARED INTACT. CONTROL VALVE FUNCTIONED AS INTENDED WHEN PRESSED DOWN; IT GOES BACK UP TO THE UPWARD POSITION. MALE AND FEMALE SWIVELS APPEARED INTACT AND SWIVELED ACCORDINGLY. A CTS TEST SYSTEM WAS USED TO CREATE SOME AIR INFLATION. A MANIFOLD TEST ADAPTOR WAS ATTACHED TO THE CTS TEST PORT. MALE SWIVEL WAS ATTACHED TO THE 15MM MALE TEST ADAPTOR WHILE A 15MM FEMALE PLUG WAS ATTACHED TO THE FEMALE SWIVEL TO SECURE CLOSURE AND SEALED ALL OPENINGS. WHEN THE CATHETER TIP WITH THE SKIVES WAS INSIDE OF THE PEEP SEAL AREA NOT SHOWING AT THE MANIFOLD, AN AIR TO THE SLEEVE APPEARS, MAKING THE SLEEVE BLOW UP. HOWEVER, WHEN THE CATHETER TIP WITH SKIVES WAS OUTSIDE OF THE PEEP SEAL AREA, SHOWING AT MANIFOLD, NO AIR LEAK SOUND EXPERIENCED. NO SLEEVE INFLATION WAS OBSERVED. BASED ON THE SAMPLE EVALUATION, THE INCIDENT COULD NOT BE CONFIRMED. A ROOT CAUSE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED SINCE NO FAILURE WAS DETECTED DURING THE EVALUATION OF THE RETURNED DEVICE.
