Manufacturer Narrative
|
The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation, along with a clear fragment.Visual inspection confirmed the complainant¿s experience of a damaged obturator tip.The clear fragment was identified as a part of the obturator tip.Based on the condition of the returned unit and the description of the event, it is likely that the obturator tip was damaged due to forces that were exerted on the tip during the procedure.It is also possible that lipid exposure and/or a material abnormality could have made the unit more susceptible to damage.The probability and criticality of harm resulting from this failure have been evaluated and were found to be at an acceptable level.
