The following were reviewed as part of this investigation: patient severity, trend analysis, applicable previous investigation(s), sample (if available), and applicable fmea documents.Based on a review of this information, the following was concluded: the complaint of a missing luer cap was inconclusive due to the nature of the returned sample.The product returned for evaluation was one photograph depicting a 20ga x 0.75¿ safestep safety infusion set.The sample appeared free of use residues.The clamp and the safety mechanism were both not engaged and the protective sleeve was covering the needle shaft.No end cap was attached to the luer adapter.An arrow pointing to the luer was included on the photograph.While no luer cap was evident in the submitted photograph, the device packaging was opened and the device was removed from the packaging, so the original state of the device could not be assessed.Consequently this complaint is inconclusive at this time.A lot history review (lhr) of asdts0142 showed no other similar product complaint(s) from this lot number.
