Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Visual inspection confirmed the complainant¿s experience of a cannula shaft break.The cannula wall thickness near the fracture location was measured and did not meet specifications.Based on the condition of the returned unit and description of the event, it is possible the reported event was due to uneven wall thickness of the cannula and/or forces exerted on the cannula during the procedure.Applied medical has performed a historical trend analysis and review of production records and no relevant documentations were identified.
