Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation, along with a black fragment and clear component.Visual inspection confirmed the complainant¿s experience of seal component fragmentation and dislodgment.The black fragment matched the missing portion of the septum, an internal rubber component of the seal.The clear component was identified to be the shield, an internal plastic component of the seal.Based on the condition of the returned unit and description of the event, it is likely the septum fragmentation and shield dislodgement was caused by an asymmetrical instrument that was inserted through the trocar in a non-axial manner.Applied medical¿s instructions for use (ifu) states that, ¿extra care should be used when inserting angular and asymmetrical instruments, such as ¿j¿ hooks and clip appliers.All instruments should be centered axially when inserted through the seal to prevent tearing.¿ applied medical has performed a historical trend analysis and review of production records, and no trend was identified.
