The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Visual inspection confirmed the complainant¿s experience of a cannula shaft fracture.Based on the condition of the returned unit, it is possible that the reported event was caused by force exerted on the cannula during insertion.However, applied medical has reviewed the details surrounding the event and related products and is unable to determine the cause of the reported event based on the evaluation of the returned unit.Applied medical has performed a historical trend analysis and review of production records and no documentations were identified.
