Manufacturer Narrative

The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Visual inspection confirmed that complainant¿s experience of a torn tissue bag.Engineering observed stretch marks around the break.Based on the condition of the returned unit, it is likely that the bag broke from the stress exerted on the bag while the specimen was being removed from the extraction site.It is possible that the port site was not properly sized for the specimen being removed.The instructions for use (ifu) states that "if the bag and its contents are too large to be extracted, carefully enlarge the port site for ease of bag removal.".
