The following field was updated due to corrected information: h.6.Imdrf annex a grid: a041001 material puncture/hole.H.6.Investigation: one photo of a used sample was received by our quality team for evaluation.From the photo, blood was observed in the catheter and the flow control plug.The needle pierced through the catheter was also observed.A review of the internal manufacturing device records and raw material history files for the reported lot number was performed and no recorded quality problems or rejections to this incident were found.The manufacturing process was reviewed.There is a 100% online automated vision inspection system that can detect and reject product not meeting the lie distance requirement.If the needle pierced through the catheter in the manufacturing process, the defective part would be rejected by the automated vision inspection system as the product will not have any lie distance.As blood was observed in the catheter and flow control plug, a successful penetration is indicated.It would not be possible to penetrate the vein if the needle was pierced through the catheter.Therefore, the probable root cause for the reported defect could be due to the user having partially withdrawing the needle from the catheter and upon reinserting the needle into the vein, the needle pieced through and damaged the catheter.H3 other text : see h.10.
