Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Visual inspection confirmed the complainant¿s experience of a fractured cannula tip.Based on the condition of the returned unit, it is possible that the cannula tip fractured due a large force applied to the cannula tip.It is also possible that the cannula was more susceptible to breakage.However, the exact root cause of the cannula tip fracture is unknown.The probability and criticality of harm resulting from this failure have been evaluated and were found to be at an acceptable level.
