The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation, with a clear component.Visual inspection confirmed the complainant¿s experience of a dislodged shield.The clear component was identified to be the shield, an internal plastic component of the seal.Based on the condition of the returned unit, it is likely that the dislodged shield was caused by non-axial insertion of an asymmetrical instrument through the trocar.Applied medical¿s instructions for use (ifu) states that, "extra care should be used when inserting angular and asymmetrical instruments, such as 'j' hooks and clip appliers.All instruments should be centered axially when inserted through the seal to prevent tearing.".
