The event product was returned to applied medical for evaluation with one (1) rubber fragment.Upon inspection, engineering noted fragmentation of an internal rubber component of the seal.The rubber fragment returned did not complete the seal when reassembled.No pieces were reported to have remained in the patient.The likely root cause of the damage to the seal is an instrument.Applied medical's instructions for use states that "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 will continue to monitor its vigilance system for trends and take appropriate actions, as necessary, to ensure the performance and safety of its products.This report is being filed as a result of a re-review of applied medical complaints received between june 1, 2014 and may 31, 2016.This retrospective review was associated with a quality management system (qms) compliance action plan developed and presented to fda to address an april 10, 2015 warning letter.Applied medical has revised its mdr reporting criteria to be more conservative and has improved complaint handling and mdr reporting processes.The reviews ensured that recent reportable events were appropriately identified and reported to the designated regulatory authority(ies).This report, which represents the initial and final reports combined, is being submitted based on the findings of that retrospective review.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 a supplemental report will be submitted to the fda.
