The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Testing was performed on the event unit, which confirmed the complainant¿s experience of the jaws not opening.The jaws of the device could not open because the blade lever did not retract.Based on the condition of the returned unit, it is likely that the reported event was caused by the surgeon using the device with the blade channel covered in extreme eschar.Applied medical has performed a historical trend analysis and review of production records and no relevant documentation was identified.
