Manufacturer Narrative

The incident sample has been requested but to date has not been received for evaluation.  if the sample is received, or if additional information pertinent to the incident is obtained a follow-up report will be submitted.  as part of our manufacturing process, all device history records are reviewed and approved by quality, prior to release of product.

Event Description

The customer reported that they went to transfer blood from the syringe using a blood transfer device and the tip of the syringe broke during the transfer.

Manufacturer Narrative

A review of the device history record revealed no discrepancies that may have contributed to the reported condition.A photograph was provided by the customer and was evaluated.In the photograph the reported condition is observed with an oblique fracture originating near the base of the luer tip.It cannot be confirmed if the sample met original specifications before use.No other damage or issues are observed in the photograph.The oblique fracture suggests that a force was applied perpendicular to the axis of the luer tip which caused the breakage.The amount of force applied is unknown and the cause of force is unknown.The method of root cause analysis implemented in this investigation was to conduct a six m assessment that evaluated potential causes.In the event where a deficiency originated during manufacturing, the most probable root cause of the reported condition is likely a mechanical jam occurring in the transport system which was not properly removed from the process.
