The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Functional testing was performed on the event unit, which confirmed the complainant¿s experience of unintended rf energy output.Based on the condition of the returned unit, it is likely that the reported event was caused by a misaligned fuse switch and spring.Applied medical has performed a historical trend analysis and review of production records and no relevant documentation was identified.
