The event unit was not returned to applied medical for evaluation.As the event unit was not returned, testing was unable to be performed and applied medical was unable to confirm the complainant's experience of a hole in the tissue bag.In the absence of the event unit, it is difficult to determine if the hole in the tissue bag was caused by a manufacturing non-conformance.Applied medical has reviewed the details surrounding the event and is unable to determine the root cause of the event.The probability and criticality of harm resulting from this failure have been evaluated and were found to be at an acceptable level.
