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 likely that the cannula tip fractured due to instrumentation coming in contact with the cannula tip during the procedure.It is also possible that the cannula was more susceptible to breakage.
