Update - distributor to report source.Investigation summary: the event unit was returned for evaluation.Upon inspection, engineering confirmed the complainant's experience that the tubing had separated from the wire.The root cause of the tubing separation could not be determined.The tubing that had separated from the wire appeared to have been shaved or cut by a sharp instrument or surface.It is possible that when the unit was removed from the scope, it made contact with the edge of the scope, which caused the tubing to separate from the wire.Applied medical will continue to monitor its vigilance system for trends and take appropriate actions as necessary, to ensure the performance and safety of its products.In accordance with 21 cfr 803.56, if additional information is obtained which was not known or was not available when this report was submitted, then the supplemental report will be submitted to the fda.
