The event unit was not returned to applied medical for evaluation.However, a photograph of the event unit was provided by the complainant.The photograph confirmed the complainant¿s experience of a torn sheath.In the absence of the event unit, it is difficult to determine if the reported event was caused by a manufacturing non-conformance or circumstantial factors at the time of use.Applied medical has reviewed the details surrounding the event and related product and is unable to determine the root cause at this time.The probability and criticality of harm resulting from this failure have been evaluated and were found to be at an acceptable level.
