Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation, along with a clear fragment.Visual inspection confirmed the complainant¿s experience of a cannula tip fracture.The clear fragment was identified to be part of the cannula tip.Based on the condition of the returned unit, it is likely that the fractured cannula tip was caused by an object or instrument coming into contact with the cannula tip and/or excess force was exerted on the tip during the procedure.It is also possible that the cannula tip material was more susceptible to fracture.
