Additional Manufacturer Narrative

A sleeve from the event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Visual inspection of the returned unit confirmed that the shield, an internal plastic component of the seal, had separated from the seal.Engineering also observed scratches on the shield and a tear on the septum, an internal rubber component of the seal.Based on condition of the returned unit, it is likely that the reported event was caused by non-axial insertion or removal of asymmetrical instrumentation through the sleeve.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.".
