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 occurred when the shield, an internal plastic component of the seal, was unseated from the seal.It is likely that the shield was unseated during removal of the scope, which then made it difficult to insert the scope.The probability and critically 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 represents the combined initial and final.
