Evaluation summary: post market vigilance (pmv) led an evaluation of one device.The event report alleges the product was used in a surgical procedure.The visual inspection of the returned product noted the top of the obturator was disengaged.The device was received with the obturator inserted into the cannula.Pmv performed functional testing; the device failed an air leak test.Records from each manufacturing lot are thoroughly reviewed to ensure that products are released meeting all quality release specifications at the time of manufacture.Analysis concluded there were no assembly component related failures; therefore, a device history record will not be performed.Replication of the disengaged obturator top may occur when mishandled during clinical application.The root cause of the observed damage was misuse of the product which would have caused or contributed to the reported incident.No relationship between the device and the reported incident was confirmed.Should new information become available, the file will be re-opened and the investigation summary will be amended as appropriate.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
