The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Visual inspection confirmed the complainant¿s experience of a fractured trocar.The cannula and obturator were fractured with no cracking observed at the location of the fracture.Engineering measured the wall thickness of the cannula and obturator and found that both met specifications.Based on the condition of the returned unit and the event description, it is likely that the reported event was caused was caused by a high insertion force that was applied to the trocar during insertion.The probability and criticality of harm resulting from this failure have been evaluated and were found to be at an acceptable level.
