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 obturator tip.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 documentations were identified.[correction] sections d1 and d4 (primary unique device identification number and additional unique device identification number) have been updated.
