Manufacturer Narrative

A photo was provided for evaluation.Unfortunately, the failure mode could not be verified with the photo provided.The most probable root cause can be attributed to post manufacturing handling, which can provide enough force/impact to activate and break the glass ampoule.Due to the nature of the glass, it is possible to have an activated applicator and/or broken ampoule if the applicator undergoes excess handling.The production record review was completed for batch/lot 1054122 and no non-conformities, failures, deviations, or rework activities occurred during the manufacturing of this lot similar to the reported issue or that could have contributed to the reported failure mode.Records reviewed indicate that the lot passed all the in-process inspections.No further actions are required.This failure will continue to be tracked and trended.H3 other text : see narrative below.
