H.6.Investigation: twelve photos and one loose 3ml syringe (p/n 309658) was received.The sample was visually evaluated and functionally tested.Brown fluid was observed present behind the stopper seal prior to decontamination.Leakage past stopper testing was performed and yielded acceptable results with no fluid being present beyond the stopper ribs.The syringe barrel from mold c-237 cavity 23 was measured for inside diameter and retaining ring inside diameter with acceptable results.Additionally, the stopper and plunger rod were inspected for any visible defects with none noted.It is unclear how the syringe was used by the customer that may have resulted in fluid leaking past the stopper seal.All barrel dimensions and visual characteristics on syringe components that could contribute to a leakage past stopper defect were evaluated for on the complaint syringe.No non-conforming aspects were found per the sample evaluation and measurements fell within product specification.Depending on how much pressure is put on the plunger rod, and if the plunger is drawn up to the retaining ring it is possible for leakage to occur with this type of user error.However, this cannot be confirmed based on information available.Potential root cause could not be established.The reported defect could not be replicated in the sample received.Since the defect could not be confirmed to have originated via a manufacturing related process and passed internal functional testing and measurements no corrective action is required.A device history record review showed no rejected inspections or quality issues during the production of the provided lot number that could have contributed to the reported defect.H3 other text : see h.10.
