The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Visual inspection confirmed that the sheath had separated from the inner ring.Based on the condition of the returned unit, it is possible that the reported event was caused by a weak or incomplete heat seal between the sheath and the inner ring.The probability and criticality of harm resulting from this failure have been evaluated and were found to be at an acceptable level.
