Manufacturer Narrative

A device history record review was completed for provided material number 306546 and lot number 3250016.The review did not reveal any possible non-conformances during the production process that could have contributed to the reported incident.To aid in the investigation of this issue, the affected physical sample was returned for evaluation by our quality team.The syringe sample was still within the original unopened packaging.Through analysis of the sample, the stopper component was found out of proper position.Through the investigation results, the most probable cause for the leaking syringe was the stopper being out of position and/or a loose tip cap.However, there were no non-conformances identified during the production process.As this is the first report received for this type of defect on material number 306546 and lot number 3250016, further action has not been determined necessary at this time.Our quality team will continue to closely monitor the manufacturing process for signs of this potential defect and any emerging trends.
