Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Visual inspection confirmed the complainant¿s experience of a fractured cannula.Based on the condition of the returned unit and the description of the event, it is likely that the reported event was caused by uneven wall thickness, which occurred during the injection molding process of the cannula.The probability and criticality of harm resulting from this failure have been evaluated and were found to be at an acceptable level.
