The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Visual inspection confirmed that the complainant¿s experience of a bent blunt stylet.It was also observed that the stylet was unable to retract and fully expose the needle.Based on the condition of the returned unit and the description of the event, it is likely that the blunt stylet jammed and failed to expose the needle as it could not retract as intended, which resulted in the stylet bending.Correction: section device code has been updated to (b)(4).- material twisted/bent.
