The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Testing was performed on the event unit.However, the complainant¿s experience of cannula breakage could not be confirmed as the cannula met current specifications and there were no visible non-conformances.Applied medical has reviewed the details surrounding the event and related products and is unable to determine the cause of the reported event based on the evaluation of the returned unit.This event was initially reported based on the description of the event.However, based on the evaluation of the returned unit, applied medical determined that this event is not reportable as the cannula breakage could not be confirmed and the air leakage is unlikely to cause or contribute to death or serious injury.
