Manufacturer Narrative

Submission date: 09/11/2018.An investigation was performed for the reported customer complaint: ¿the customer reports: during production process, the needles with loose particles were found.¿ a review of the device history record (dhr) for lot no.705889 indicated the product was released meeting all quality standards.All dhrs are reviewed for accuracy prior to product release.In-process procedures are also in place to prevent nonconforming product in the manufacturing process.This ensures components and finished products meet all quality inspection standards.These controls include, but are not limited to: material verification/certification processes, dimensional specifications, statistical samplings, periodic audits, process inspections, machine maintenance/operation and personnel training and certification.Inspectors routinely examine a statistical sample both physically and visually.Specifically, samples are inspected for contamination, foreign matter and damage.Additionally, no nonconforming issues were identified for the cannula, hubs, shields or sheaths used in the production of this lot.Samples (315) were submitted for evaluation.All samples were inspected for particulate and forty-eight (48) were found with loose plastic shavings on them.An additional sixty-three (63) needles had scrapes on the sheath with plastic raised from the surface.Process monitoring data identified an issue with the sheath loader of the high speed assembly machine.A corrective maintenance work order was issued for adjustment of the sheath loader station due to mispicks.This maintenance event was likely related to the cause of the damaged sheaths.There is no indication of a systemic issue with the process or product.The information available identified an assignable root cause and correction for the issue.The reported customer complaint is confirmed.The most likely root cause was due to a misaligned sheath loader.No further corrective or preventive action is planned at this time.This complaint will be utilized for tracking and trending purposes.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
