The event product was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Upon inspection, engineering confirmed the complainant's experience of a fractured cannula.The likely root cause of the fractured cannula is due to material degradation during the molding process, which could cause the part to be more prone to brittle fractures.The probability and criticality of harm resulting from this failure mode have been evaluated and were found to be at an acceptable level.Applied medical continuously seeks to improve the form, function and ease of use of its products.As part of this process, applied medical is currently researching possible process enhancements intended to further minimize the potential for this type of event to occur.
