The complaint device was returned to stryker sustainability solutions (sss) for an evaluation.Examination of the returned device did not reveal evidence of clinical use.The plastic shaft was confirmed to be broken.The plastic was dented into the shaft making it impossible for an obturator to pass through the cannula shaft.Results of the investigation confirmed the reported issue as the device was received with a broken shaft.It is possible that the plastic shaft impacted a hard object with force beyond its validated parameters or experienced excessive lateral force.A review of the lot control sheet (lcs) indicated that all required inspections and tests were conducted on all devices in the lot in question indicating that the instrument was in working condition when released from stryker® sustainability solutions.The instructions for use instructions for use (ifu) states: "use caution when introducing or removing instruments through the trocar sleeve in order to prevent inadvertent damage to the seals which could result in loss of pneumoperitoneum.Special care should be used when inserting sharp or angled edged endoscopic instruments to prevent tearing the seal." "do not use excessive force.".
