The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Testing was performed on the event unit, which confirmed the customer¿s experience of jaws staying closed.Based on the condition of the returned unit, it is likely that the reported event was caused by a non-conforming trigger lock.Applied medical has performed a historical trend analysis and review of production records and no relevant documentation was identified.The probability and criticality of harm resulting from this failure have been evaluated and were found to be at an acceptable level.
