The event unit was not returned to applied medical for evaluation.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 possible that the hairlike object originated from an operator during the manufacturing process.However, the exact root cause of the event is unknown.Applied medical has performed a historical trend analysis and review of production records and no relevant documentation was identified.Correction: updated the component code and device code.
