Manufacturer Narrative

The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Visual inspection confirmed the complainant¿s experience as the bag was torn at the tip.Stretching was also observed near the tear.Based on the condition of the returned unit and the description of the event, it is likely that the incision size was not adequately enlarged prior to specimen removal, resulting in excessive force exerted on the tip of the bag and causing the bag to tear.The instructions for use (ifu) states, "if the bag and its contents are too large to be extracted, carefully enlarge the port site for ease of bag removal." this report is a follow-up to medwatch #mw5117961 correction: procedure performed within section b5 has been updated to laparoscopic appendectomy based on additional information received from the user facility after the initial medwatch # 2027111-2023-00487 was submitted.
