Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Visual inspection confirmed the complainant¿s experience of a damaged obturator tip.The obturator tip was fractured.Based on the description of the event and the condition of the returned unit, it is likely that the obturator tip fractured due to excess force exerted on the tip during insertion due to the adhesions.It is also possible that the obturator material, which is susceptible to fracture, was a contributing factor.The probability and criticality of harm resulting from this failure have been evaluated and were found to be at an acceptable level.
