The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Upon visual inspection, engineering confirmed that there was a tear in the sheath.Engineering also observed that a portion of the sheath was slightly stretched and had uneven cuts.Applied medical is unable to determine the root cause of the reported event based on the evaluation of the returned unit.The probability and criticality of harm resulting from this failure have been evaluated and were found to be at an acceptable level.Correction was made to d4 - expiration date as it was provided incorrectly in the initial report.
