Correction: therapy date was changed from (b)(6) 2017 to (b)(6) 2017.The event unit was not returned to applied medical for evaluation.As the event unit was not returned, testing was unable to be performed and the complainant's experience could not be replicated or confirmed.Based on the description of the event, it is likely that the reported event was caused by force applied during the procedure in combination with lipid exposure on the tip of the cannula.The probability and criticality of harm resulting from this failure have been evaluated and were found to be at an acceptable level.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 to follow-up medwatch report #mw5071471.
