Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Visual inspection confirmed the complainant's experience of sheath tear.It was also observed that a part of the sheath was stretched and edges near the tear were rough.Based on the condition of the returned unit, it is likely that an object or instrument came in contact with the sheath, resulting in a hole or tear.As the sheath experiences stresses during use, it is possible that the hole or tear propagated through the sheath when the device was being retracted.
