The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Testing was performed on the event unit, which confirmed the reported event of rough actuation.Based on the condition of the returned unit, it is likely that the reported event of rough actuation was caused by the rivet being too tight which occurred during the manufacturing process.The probability and criticality of harm resulting from this failure have been evaluated and were found to be at an acceptable level.
