Manufacturer Narrative

The event unit was not returned to applied medical for evaluation.However, a photo of the shield, an internal plastic component of the sleeve was provided, confirming the complainant¿s experience of shield dislodgement.Based on the description of the event, it is likely that the shield dislodgement was caused by non-axial insertion or removal of asymmetrical instrumentation through the sleeve.Applied medical¿s instructions for use (ifu) states that, "extra care should be taken when inserting and withdrawing angular and asymmetrical instruments, such as 'j' hooks and clip appliers." the ifu also states, "all instruments should be centered axially when inserted through the seal." the probability and criticality of harm resulting from this failure have been evaluated and were found to be at an acceptable level.
