The event unit was not returned to applied medical for evaluation.However, a photograph of the event unit was provided to applied medical, which confirmed the complainant¿s experience of a broken cannula.In the absence of the event unit, it is difficult to determine the exact root cause of the event.The probability and criticality of harm resulting from this failure have been evaluated and were found to be at an acceptable level.
