Manufacturer Narrative

H.6.Investigation: two photos and one safetyglide needle attached to an unknown glass syringe in an opened blister pack from batch 7026982 (p/n 305916) was received and evaluated.It was observed in the photos and physical sample there was no cannula present inside the hub, which was rejectable per product specification.Potential root cause for the needle pulling out of hub defect is associated with the needle manufacturing process.Root cause: safetyglide assembly line.The plastic hub is placed under the cannulator then the needle is positioned and assembled to the plastic hub adding the epoxy to fix it after that the safety mechanism is assembled, then a plastic shield is assembled.In this case the epoxy was not applied to the needle-plastic hub and not detected in the next processes.A device history record review showed no rejected inspections or quality issues during the production of the provided lot number that could have contributed to the reported defect h3 other text : see h.10.
