Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Visual inspection confirmed the complainant¿s experience of rough actuation.A burr was observed on one of the blades.The rivet, a metal component of the device, was also observed to be improperly swaged.Based on the condition of the returned unit, it is likely that the reported event was caused by the burr, which formed from the scissor blades interfering with one another.The blades likely interfered with one another because of the improperly swaged rivet.The probability and criticality of harm resulting from this failure have been evaluated and were found to be at an acceptable level.
