The event unit was not returned to applied medical for evaluation.However, photos of the dislodged components were provided.Visual inspection confirmed the complainant¿s experience of seal component separation.The black component was identified to be the septum, an internal rubber component of the seal.The clear component was identified to be the shield, an internal plastic component of the seal.Based on similar events and the provide photos, it is likely that the reported event was caused by non-axial insertion or removal of asymmetrical instruments 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.".
