The event unit was not returned to applied medical for evaluation.However, photos of the event unit were provided.Visual inspection confirmed the complainant's experience of a dislodged shield, an internal plastic component of the seal.As the event unit was not returned, applied medical is unable to determine if the event unit exhibited any non-conformances that could have contributed to the reported event.Based on the description of the event, it is likely that the reported event was caused by non-axial insertion or removal of asymmetrical instruments through the trocar.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.".
