The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Visual inspection observed that the banana plug was detached.Testing was performed on the event unit which confirmed the complainant¿s experience as the monopolar function did not work.Based on the condition of the returned unit and the description of the event, it is likely that the reported event was caused by banana plug not being attached properly during manufacturing.The probability and criticality of the harm resulting from this failure have been evaluated and were found to be at an acceptable level.
