    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    INVESTIGATION SUMMARY: THE EVENT UNIT WAS NOT RETURNED FOR EVALUATION, HOWEVER, ONE (1) STERILE UNIT FROM THE SAME LOT WAS RETURNED. IN THE ABSENCE OF THE SUBJECT DEVICE, IT IS DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE INCIDENT. UPON INSPECTION OF THE RETURNED STERILE CTF03 UNIT, ENGINEERING CONDUCTED FRACTURE FORCE TESTING AND FOUND THE DEVICE FUNCTIONED PROPERLY AND MET DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS. THE EXACT ROOT CAUSE OF THIS INCIDENT COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. ALTHOUGH THE EXACT ROOT CAUSE OF THE INCIDENT COULD NOT BE DETERMINED, APPLIED MEDICAL HAS RECEIVED REPORTS OF SIMILAR ISSUES AND HAS OPENED A CORRECTIVE AND PREVENTATIVE ACTION REPORT TO FURTHER ELEVATE AND TRACK THIS INVESTIGATION AND IMPLEMENT APPROPRIATE CORRECTIVE ACTIONS TO MITIGATE THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT. APPLIED MEDICAL WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR ITS VIGILANCE SYSTEM FOR TRENDS AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTIONS AS NECESSARY. IN ACCORDANCE TO 21 CFR 803.56, IF WE OBTAIN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, WHICH WAS NOT KNOWN OR WAS NOT AVAILABLE WHEN THIS REPORT WAS SUBMITTED, THEN A SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT WILL BE SUBMITTED TO THE FDA.
