The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Visual inspection confirmed the complainant¿s experience of a broken cannula wing tab.Based on the condition of the returned unit, it is possible that the cannula wing was more susceptible to damage or became damaged due to improper handling.However, the exact root cause of the broken cannula wing tab could not be determined.Applied medical has performed a historical trend analysis and review of production records and no relevant documentations were identified.
