The event unit was not returned to applied medical for evaluation.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 of trocar site hernia.Based on similar events and provided information, it is likely that the incidents were not a result of device malfunction.However, the exact root cause of trocar site hernia is unknown.The probability and criticality of harm resulting from this failure have been evaluated and were found to be at an acceptable level.
