Manufacturer Narrative

The actual sample was returned for evaluation.The needle was confirmed to have been removed from the wing part, and no needle was received.Upon checking the glue mound at the connection part between needle tube and hub, the glue remained, and no irregularity was observed in the glue amount.Two retention samples were visually checked, wherein no irregularity including detachment of needle tube or the defect that may cause needle detachment was observed.The bonding strength between needle tube and hub was measured and the results for both samples were shown to have met the manufacturer's specification.A review of the manufactruing records of the product code/lot# combination was conducted with no findings.Furthermore, the sampling test results were reviewed and no irregularities related to the glue amount and bonding strength of the needle tube were detected.Based on the investigation, it is presumed that greater stress than allowable limit has been applied to the actual sample.However, the exact root cause was unable to be identified, since no irregularity was found in the manufacture inspection records and our retention samples.
