The event unit was not returned to applied medical for evaluation.As the event unit was not returned, applied medical is unable to determine if the event unit exhibited any damages or non-conformances that could have contributed to the reported event.Based on the event description and previous incidents, it is likely that the reported event was caused by improper robotic arm clamp installation or the method in which the robotic device was being used in the procedure.However, the exact root cause could not be confirmed.
