Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Per the investigation of the logs surrounding the event, the device performed the preparation correctly, except the syringe capping failed.It was unable to be determined if the device caused the plunger to be located at the incorrect dossage, or if it was a user error after the preparation was completed.Should additional information become available, a supplemental report will be filed.
 
Event or Problem Description
It was reported that 3 ephedrine syringes from a different lot were completed [20210317-eph25mg-nex (id (b)(6))] with incorrect quantities that also successfully passed to robot.Two syringes had 4 mls and one syringe had around 3 mls, when the requested amount was 5 mls.The pincer pressure regulator has been installed.The syringe was validated by the pharmacist and put into quarantine since it is an ebud product.The issue was found months later when it was being pulled out of storage by their buyer.No adverse events were reported as a result of this malfunction.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
As concluded in the original filing, this malfunction is not likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if it were to recur.Upon further investigation of this complaint, this event also does not require reporting based on a previous commitment to the fda.The preps passed and only the syringe capping failed (per error logs), preps were then manually capped by the pharmacy technician.The process of manual capping is verified by the technician and approved by the pharmacist.In this case the syringes were later taken from storage prior to their expiry date and recognized to be underdosed.There is no evidence to support any other device operations failed aside from the final syringe capping which led to manual capping.Therefore, the underdose occurred somewhere after manual capping and prior to pulling from storage.This device malfunction was found to pose no safety risk to patients.
