The following fields have been updated due to additional information: d.9.Device available for eval?: yes.D.9.Returned to manufacturer on: 03-aug-2023.H.6.Investigation summary: it was reported it is difficult to expel the fluid from the syringe.To aid in the investigation, two empty samples with no packaging flow wraps or tip caps were received for evaluation by our quality team.One sample is for lot 3117553 and one sample is for lot 3079553.A visual inspection was performed, and no defects or imperfections were observed.Each sample was then tested for sustaining force, which is the force applied to the plunger rod while moving downwards when expelling the saline solution, and all results were within specification.It could be possible that some units received were towards the higher end of specification requiring more force than normal to expel.A device history record review was completed for provided material number (b)(4), lots 3117553 and 3079553.The reviews did not reveal any detected quality issues during the production of these lots that could have contributed to the reported defect.There were no related quality notifications.All processes and final inspections complied with specification requirements.To date, there have been no other similar events reported for these lots.Based on the investigation and with the returned sample analysis the symptom reported by the customer could not be confirmed.Complaints received for this device and reported condition will continue to be tracked and trended.Information will be captured on trend reports and monitored monthly.Our business team regularly reviews the collected data for identification of emerging trends.
