The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation, along with the broken piece.Visual inspection confirmed the complainant¿s experience of a fractured cannula.The broken piece completed the missing portion of the cannula.The wall thickness of the cannula was measured and met specifications.Based on the condition of the returned unit, it is likely that the cannula fractured due to excessive force exerted on the unit during the procedure.The probability and criticality of harm resulting from this failure have been evaluated and were found to be at an acceptable level.
