Manufacturer Narrative

H6: investigation summary three photos and two used samples were received by our quality team for evaluation.Visual inspection of the returned samples and provided photos found that the needle was not retracted in either unit and the button was depressed in one of the units.Further inspection was performed using a microscope.This inspection found that adhesive was present on both units in between the needle hub and the grip.Functional testing also verified that either button could not be pressed, and the needle could not be retracted, confirming the customer experience.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.This type of defect may occur when adhesive is unintentionally applied to the outside of the hub, where the adhesive may then seep down into the other components.This may occur at the adhesive dispense process due to station misalignment, part misalignment, or adhesive buildup on the nozzle.Per the quality control plan, inspection for needle retraction and excessive adhesive are performed periodically during the manufacturing process to mitigate the occurrence of this defect.Preventative maintenance is performed to maintain and ensure proper functioning of equipment.The preventative maintenance records were verified to be up to date during the production of this lot.A notification of this complaint was sent to the manufacturing department to raise awareness of this nonconformance.This incident has been added to our database of reported incidents.Our business team regularly reviews the collected data for identification of emerging trends.
