Evaluation summary: post market vigilance (pmv) led an evaluation of one device.The visual inspection of the returned product noted the distal end of the retractable white tip was disengaged.The envelope seal and cannula appeared intact.The obturator was received inserted into the cannula, prolonged insertion can cause the envelope seal to become stretched.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.Replication of the disengaged white retractable tip 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.
