While trying to remove uterus, the distal portion of the vcare, including the green cup and blue balloon, became disconnected from the handle and remained inside the patient while the handle was pulled away from the vagina.The uterus was still inside the patient as well as the disconnected parts (green cup and blue balloon tip).Physicians quickly worked to remove the remaining objects from the patient.We were able to assess an intact vcare and disassemble it off the field and confirm that all parts were successfully removed from the patient.Fda safety report id # (b)(4).
