The event unit was not returned to applied medical for evaluation.However, a photo of the event unit was provided.Visual inspection of the photo confirmed that the shield, an internal plastic component of the seal, had separated from the seal.Based on the description of the event and image provided, it is likely that the reported event was caused by non-axial insertion or removal of asymmetrical instruments (aspiration needle) 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.".
