The device was returned to stryker sustainability solutions for evaluation.Visual inspection showed the device was returned in two pieces with the cannula seal separated from the cannula base and shaft assembly.Two pieces of seal material were also included.Both seal pieces are part of the ring seal which has been separated from the ring seal assembly.All parts showed signs of clinical use.A review of the dhr supports that the device was unlikely to have been released from stryker with the reported failure mode.The most likely root cause is damage during insertion or withdrawal of instruments due to excessive force or other handling methods.The instructions for use (ifu) state: - become familiar with specific model of trocar and cannula prior to employing it in a surgical procedure to avoid damage to patient, to operator or to instrument.- careful handling of instruments is necessary to avoid damage or breakage.- inspect the instruments for any damage.Do not use the instrument if any damage is noted.Return the instrument and packaging to stryker sustainability solutions if it is not in acceptable condition for surgery.- care should be taken when introducing or removing instruments through the cannula sleeve in order to prevent accidental tearing of the seal.The reported event will continue to be monitored through post-market surveillance.
