The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Visual inspection was performed on the event unit, which confirmed that the attachment tab of the insert base was fractured.Based on the condition of the returned unit, it is likely that the fractured attachment tab occurred during the manufacturing process.It is also possible that the unit falsely passed visual inspection.The probability and criticality of harm resulting from this failure have been evaluated and were found to be at an acceptable level.
