Correction: initial reporter was also filed this event to fda.Multiple attempts were made to obtain additional information from the customer.However, the customer was unable to provide any further information regarding the incident.Investigation summary: the event unit was not returned for evaluation.In the absence of the subject device it is difficult to determine the root cause of the incident.A review of the manufacturing records could not be conducted as the customer did not provide a lot number for the device.During the manufacturing process, all trocars are thoroughly inspected for functionality and performance prior to packaging.Although the root cause of the experience could not be determined, the engineering evaluation revealed that the likely root cause may be due to excessive force or torque applied to the distal tip of the device by the robotic instrumentation utilized in the procedure.Applied medical will continue to monitor its vigilance system for trends and take appropriate actions as necessary.In accordance to 21 cfr 803.56, if we obtain additional information, which was not known or was not available when this report was submitted, then a supplemental report will be submitted to the fda.This report is to follow-up to medwatch report# (b)(4) and maude report# 5393973.
