Manufacturer Narrative

The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation, along with a rubber fragment.Visual inspection confirmed the complainant's experience of seal component separation.The rubber fragment completed the missing portion on the septum, a rubber component of the seal.Based on the condition of the returned unit and the description of the event, it is likely that the reported event was caused by non-axial insertion or removal of asymmetrical instruments, such as the stapler, through the trocar.Applied medical¿s instructions for use states that, "extra care should be used when inserting angular and asymmetrical instruments, such as 'j' hooks and clip appliers.All instruments should be centered axially when inserted through the seal to prevent tearing." this event is not reportable as it is unlikely to cause or contribute to death or serious injury.This report is to follow-up medwatch # 2600320000-2019-8057.
