Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation along with a clear component.Visual inspection confirmed the complainant¿s experience as the dislodged component was identified to be the shield, an internal plastic component of the seal.Based on the description of the event and condition of the returned unit, it is likely that the dislodged shield was caused by non-axial insertion of an asymmetrical instrument 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.".
