    IT WAS REPORTED THAT SURGEON FEEDBACK WAS PROVIDED INDICATING THAT THE AR-7511 SUTURETAPE DISCONNECTS FROM THE NEEDLE AND SOMETIMES THE NEEDLE IS TOO AGGRESSIVE FOR POOR TISSUE QUALITY. THE REP STATED THE DEVICE BROKE IN THE PATIENT AT THE END OF THE CASE WHILE THE SURGEON WAS PULLING THE NEEDLE THROUGH THE TISSUE. IT DID NOT ALTER THE CASE AT ALL, JUST A MINOR INCONVENIENCE. ASSOCIATED PROCEDURES WERE COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY WITH NO HARM.
