The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Visual inspection confirmed the complainant's experience of seal leakage and seal component separation.The shield, a clear plastic internal component of the seal, was not returned for evaluation.The septum, a rubber component of the seal, was torn and fragmented.Engineering observed that a flap of the duckbill, another rubber component of the seal, was deformed.Based on the condition of the returned unit and the description of the event, it is likely that the shield dislodgement and damaged septum were 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." the duckbill flap was likely deformed due to the manipulation of instruments during the robotic procedure.The seal leakage was caused by the damaged septum and deformed duckbill flap, as both rubber components function to maintain pneumoperitoneum.This report is to follow up medwatch report #4500760000-2019-8006.
