Investigation summary a device history review was conducted for lot number 0140771.Our records show that this is the only instance of a this issue occurring in this production batch.According to the sampling plan applied for product performance, this lot was accepted and released without defects being noted during the final assembly or visual inspections.Based on the provided photograph our engineers were able to observe the missing septum reported to us by the facility.The septum was most likely lost during the course of high pressure injection, which can occur as a result of the manually insertion of the septum into the adapter body.This is currently monitored by the visual inspection of every device prior to packaging; to prevent a reoccurance of this issue we have issued an advisory notice to our inspection teams in order to raise awareness of this kind of non-conformance.
