Manufacturer Narrative

The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Functional testing confirmed the complainant¿s experience of difficulty opening the jaws.Upon closer inspection, insufficient crimping of the cover tube, a metal component within the shaft, was observed.Based on the condition of the returned unit and the description of the event, the reported event was caused by the insufficient crimping of the cover tube, leading to displacement of the jaws from its intended position during trigger actuation to open the jaws.The probability and criticality of harm resulting from this failure have been evaluated and were found to be at an acceptable level.
