The product was not returned for investigation therefore the reported failure mode was not confirmed.Alleged failure: unknown issue with insufflator.Probable root cause: because device was not returned to oem - wom, probable root cause cannot be determined.A veress needle is used to create pneumoperitoneum for laparoscopic surgery.When the needle is placed in a peritoneal cavity, co2 passed from the insufflator through the tube set and the veress needle to fill the abdomen with gas and create a pneumoperitoneum.In the present case an issue with the insufflator was not observed.After further discussion with our distributor, stryker, who was in contact with the complainant, opined that the physician likely set the veress needle incorrectly and the patient then coded.The currently assumed most possible root cause might be incorrect positioning of the veress needle leading to air embolism.The reported failure mode will be monitored for future reoccurrence.Manufacture date is not known.H3 other text : 81.
