Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The event unit was not returned to applied medical for evaluation.However, a photograph of the event unit was provided, confirming the complainant¿s experience of a fractured cannula tip.Based on the event description and similar events, it is likely that the cannula tip fractured was due to instrumentation coming into contact with the tip and/or excess force was exerted on the tip during the procedure.It is also possible that the cannula tip material was more susceptible to fracture.A historical trend analysis and review of production records was performed and no relevant documentation was identified.Correction: the brand name in section d1 and the primary/additional di numbers in section d4 have been updated.
