Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Investigation summary: the event unit was returned for evaluation with a clip loaded under the jaws.Upon inspection, engineering removed the clip and actuated the device and the clips met all specifications.Engineering disassembled the unit further and found internal component damage.Engineering determined the root cause of improper clip feeding was due to excessive interference between the jaws and the closure member.On march 18, 2016, applied medical issued a voluntary class ii recall of the ca090 direct drive clip applier due to increased customer feedback indicating inconsistent clip application, which has the potential to lead to unoccluded vessels.An internal corrective and preventative action (capa) has been initiated to conduct a thorough investigation and implement appropriate corrective actions.Fda has issued recall number z-1621-2016 for this recall.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.
