Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Visual inspection confirmed the complainant's experience of sheath tear.Based on the condition of the returned unit, it is likely that the reported event was caused by an instrument or object that came in contact with the sheath, resulting in a hole or tear.As the sheath experiences stresses during use, it is possible that the hole or tear propagated through the sheath.
