The event unit was not returned to applied medical for evaluation.However, a photo of the event unit was provided.Visual inspection of the provided photo confirmed the complainant¿s experience of cannula tip fracture.In the absence of the event unit, it is difficult to determine if the reported event was caused by a manufacturing non-conformance or circumstantial factors at the time of use.Applied medical has reviewed the details surrounding the event and is unable to determine the exact root cause of the event.Applied medical has performed a historical trend analysis and review of production records and no relevant documentation was identified.[correction] sections d1 and d4 (primary unique device identification number and additional unique device identification number) have been updated.
