The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Visual inspection of the event unit confirmed the complainant¿s experience of seal component particulation.Based on the condition of the returned unit, it is likely that the reported event was caused by non-axial insertion or removal of asymmetrical instrument through trocar.Applied medical¿s instructions for use (ifu) states, ¿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 relevant documentation was identified.This event was initially reported based on the description of the event.However, based on the evaluation of the returned unit, applied medical determined that this event is not reportable as it is unlikely to cause or contribute to death or serious injury.
