(b)(4).The customer reported the lor syringe was leaking where the metal tip connects to the glass syringe.The customer returned one glass 5ml lor syringe nrfit and lidstock.The returned syringe was visually examined with and without magnification.Visual examination of the syringe revealed that the syringe appears typical with no observed defects or anomalies.Functional testing was performed on the returned syringe using the lab leak tester per the parameters in amrq-000128 rev.4, section 7.3-positive pressure leakage.Water was aspirated into the syringe and the syringe was inverted to remove any air from the barrel.The tip of the syringe was then connected to the lab leak tester via tubing and pressure was applied.The syringe was tested at 10psi for 10 seconds.A leak was detected where the metal tip connects to the glass syringe.A device history record review was performed on the lor syringes with a potentially relevant finding.A non-conformance was initiated for component s-05500-001an; lot # 71p20b0521 in regards to eight syringes were it was found that the piston does not move freely.That is not relevant to this complaint.The reported complaint of the lor syringe leaking where the metal tip connects to the glass syringe was confirmed based on the sample received.Visual examination of the returned sample did not reveal any defects or anomalies; however, functional testing revealed the lor syringe was found to be leaking where the metal tip connects to the glass syringe.A device history record review was performed on the lor syringes with no evidence to indicate a manufacturing related issue.However, based on the condition of the sample received, the potential root cause of this complaint issue is supplier related.A non-conformance has been initiated to further investigate this issue.
