Manufacturer Narrative

The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Visual inspection confirmed the complainant's experience of a dull blade, the tip of the blade was damaged.Based on the condition of the returned unit and the description of the event, it is likely that the blade was damaged during the procedure, prior to the second insertion, as no malfunction was reported with the first insertion using the blade.The probability and criticality of harm resulting from this failure have been evaluated and were found to be at an acceptable level.
