Manufacturer Narrative

The returned sample was visually inspected and found to be non-conforming with the needle and stiffener missing from the rest of the probe assembly.The product was processed and released according to the product¿s acceptance criteria.The evaluation confirms the reported issue of detached tip.The root cause for the component detachment is the adhesive bond failure which caused the needle assembly to detach from the rest of the probe assembly.An internal investigation was completed and improvements to the adhesive bond have been identified.All probes are 100% visually inspected and tested for actuation, aspiration, and cut during manufacturing.Complaints are reviewed and monitored at regular intervals for any significant adverse trends.No adverse trends have been observed for this reported event.The manufacturer internal reference number is: (b)(4).
