The following fields were updated due to additional information: d.10.Device available for eval?: yes.D.10.Returned to manufacturer on: 11/30/2020.H.6.Investigation: one photo and one representative sample were received by our quality team for evaluation.From the returned photo, it was observed that the needle safety mechanism was not fully activated and the needle safety mechanism was not fully activated and the needle is exposed and not contained within the needle cap.The representative sample was subjected to visual inspection and separation force functional test.The sample passed the acceptance criteria and no abnormality was observed.No abnormality was observed after activation, and the needle is able to be contained within the safety mechanism.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 probable root cause of this non-conformance could be due to the damage at cannula hub v-clip latch area.Damage at this area could cause the v-clip to disengage from the cannula hub prematurely prior to the safety mechanism being activated.As no actual sample was returned for investigation, the root cause cannot be confirmed.
