Our quality engineer inspected the sample submitted for evaluation.Bd received one unsealed 22gx1.00in insyte autoguard device.A gross visual inspection shows that the unit has been used.The needle cover was incorrectly replaced over the grip and the needle was received retracted in the barrel.Microscopic inspection of the catheter revealed the catheter tip to have some inconsistencies.There was flash present, and the flow lines were distorted.Your reported issue was confirmed as the catheter tip was found unacceptable.This was physical/mechanical evidence to confirm and support a manufacturing process related issue for the reported defect.The flash may have formed, and flow lines may get distorted due to lube temperature being too low during tipping or if there is insufficient lube due to die /coil misalignment.A device history record review showed no non-conformances associated with this issue during the production of this batch.The appropriate personnel have been notified and complaints received for this device and reported condition will continue to be tracked and trended.
