The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation along with a rubber fragment and the shield, a clear plastic internal component of seal.Visual inspection confirmed the complainant's experience of seal component separation.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 instrumentation 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.".
