Evaluation summary: post market vigilance (pmv) led an evaluation of one device.The visual inspection of the returned products noted; the top of the obturator was disengaged.The sponge on the lock collar was disengaged.The trocar balloon and dissector balloon appeared intact.The inflation syringe was not received.The insufflation bulb was received.Pmv performed functional testing: the trocar balloon could not be inflated due to a hole in the balloon.The dissector balloon was inflated, no leaks detected.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.Replication of the top of the obturator being disengaged 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.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.
