The event unit was not returned to applied medical for evaluation and the lot number was not provided.As the event unit was not returned, applied medical is unable to determine if the event unit exhibited any non-conformances that could have contributed to the reported event.Based on the description of the event, it is likely that the dislodged shield was caused by an asymmetrical instrument that was inserted in a non-axial manner such as a grasper.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." applied medical has performed a historical trend analysis and review of production records and no trends were identified.[correction] sections d1 and d4 (primary unique device identification number and additional unique device identification number) have been updated.
