H6: investigation summary: it was reported air would not expel from the needles.To aid in the investigation, twenty-seven samples in sealed packaging blisters were received for evaluation by our quality team.A visual inspection was performed and no defects or imperfections were observed.Each sample was then connected to a syringe with saline solution.Twenty-five samples expelled the solution with a normal flow.Two samples did not expel the solution; these needles are clogged.A device history record review was completed for provided material number 305916, lot number 2024138.The review revealed all visual inspections were performed as per requirement with no quality notifications related to the complaint defect.Batch 2024138 was inspected and accepted based on meeting our inspection control plan and subsequently approved for shipment.Previous investigations have revealed that process variations during the needle lubricant application can create clogged needles.Several quality initiatives have been implemented on our manufacturing line to ensure that the needle lubricant application is properly applied during the manufacturing process.Additionally, a monitoring program is also in place to verify the needle lubricant is applied uniformly to the needle.Based on the investigation and with the returned sample analysis the symptom reported by the customer is confirmed.
