Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
A single component of the event device was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Visual inspection confirmed that the shield, an internal plastic component of the seal, had detached from the seal.Engineering observed that the shield petals were scratched and damaged.Based on the condition of the shield and the description of the event, it is likely that the reported event was caused by non-axial insertion or removal of instruments (needle) through the trocar.Applied medical¿s instructions for use (ifu) states that, "extra care should be used when inserting angular and asymmetrical instruments, such as 'j' hooks and clip appliers.All instruments should be centered axially when inserted through the seal to prevent tearing.".
