Additional Manufacturer Narrative
One opened trocar cannula hub only, without the cannula, in a bag was received.The returned sample was visually inspected and was found to be non-conforming; the trocar cannula was missing from the hub and there were observed dent marks in the hub.There was adhesive present inside the hub.The functional testing could not be performed due to the damage to the sample.A review of the device history record traceable to the reported lot number, indicates that the reported product was processed and released according to the reported product¿s acceptance criteria.During assembly of the trocar product adhesive is dispensed at the cannula hub interface.The evaluation of the returned sample identified adhesive inside of the hub, therefore, how and when the trocar cannula and hub became separated cannot be determined from this evaluation and the root cause for this complaint is unknown.A potential contributing factor of the separation is manipulation during surgery.The exact root cause for this complaint is unknown, therefore, specific action with regards to this complaint cannot be taken.Assemblies are 100% inspected for adhesive application during assembly.If adhesive application is incorrect the assembly is scrapped.Complaints are reviewed and monitored at regular intervals for any significant adverse trends.No adverse trends have been observed associated with the reported product and event.No further actions are required.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
