The following fields were updated due to additional information: d10: device available for eval yes.D10: returned to manufacturer on: 2020-12-10.H6: investigation summary: one representative and one actual sample was received by our quality team for evaluation.From the returned samples, no needle bevel incorrect orientation was observed.However, needle through catheter was observed on the returned actual sample.A review of the internal manufacturing device records and raw material history files for the reported lot numbers was performed and no recorded quality problems or rejections to this incident were found.The following controls have been put in place to prevent and detect the needle being pierced through catheter from occurring: the vision system camera is not out of focus when capturing the defect by using various metal blocks for different gauges to prevent the vision assembly from dropping under its weight and the catheter is aligned to one side using vacuum to aid the insertion of the cannula thus reducing the likelihood of this nonperformance from occurring.A daily challenge of the vision system is performed and visual inspection is performed during outgoing inspection.This incident has been added to our database of reported incidents.
