Manufacturer Narrative

The event unit along with one 5mm trocar was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Visual inspection of the event unit confirmed that the jaws were unable to be closed and removed from the trocar.Engineering also observed that the formed end of the rivet had partially dislodged from the jaws.Based on the condition of the returned unit, the reported event was caused by the formed end of the rivet that came out of place while the device was being used.The probability and criticality of harm resulting from this failure have been evaluated and were found to be at an acceptable level.
