Manufacturer Narrative
|
The event unit was not returned to applied medical for evaluation.As the event unit was not returned, testing was unable to be performed and the complainant¿s experience of seal leakage could not be confirmed.In the absence of the event unit, it is difficult to determine if the seal leakage was caused by a manufacturing non-conformance.Applied medical has reviewed the details surrounding the event and related product and is unable to determine the root cause based on the description of the event.The probability and criticality of harm resulting from this failure have been evaluated and were found to be at an acceptable level.Seal leakage is not considered to be reportable as it is unlikely to cause or contribute to death or serious injury.This report is to follow-up medwatch # (b)(4).
