Manufacturer Narrative

Investigation results: the complaint that the needle tip remained exposed after retraction was confirmed from the photograph that was provided for investigation.The photo showed a partially retracted needle with the needle tip extending beyond the opening in the grip.Due to the position of the needle, barrel damage that would preclude full retraction of the needle was a potential contributing factor; however, the barrel was hidden behind the fingers that were holding the device and the root cause of the exposed needle could not be determined.A review of the inspection records and quality/manufacturing controls for the implicated lot indicated no issues with the manufacturing process.Although the root cause could not be determined, the complaint has been documented and will continue to be monitored as part of ongoing efforts to identify potential manufacturing related issues.
