Manufacturer Narrative

H6: investigation summary: one photo received by our quality team for investigation.Upon visual evaluation, two needles are seen; in one of the needles is observed the stylet is longer than the needle, therefore the stylet is protruding.A device history review was performed for reported lot 2334994, no deviations or non-conformances were identified during the manufacturing process that could have contributed to this issue.Based on the teams investigation, possible root cause is associated with stylet out of alignment which orients the length and rotation of the cannula /stylet.
