Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Visual inspection confirmed the complainant¿s experience of a fractured cannula.The wall thickness of the cannula shaft was uneven and did not meet specifications.Based on the condition of the returned unit and the description of the event, it is likely that the cannula fracture was caused by the uneven cannula shaft wall thickness, which was a result of a core pin shift during the injection molding process of the cannula.
