Manufacturer Narrative

H6: investigation summary one sample was received by our quality team for evaluation.The sample was subjected to visual inspection.Blood is seen at the catheter and flow control plug.Needle pierced through the catheter was observed on the returned sample.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.Based on the returned sample, blood was observed in the flow control plug.This indicates a successful penetration.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 pierced through the catheter and damaged the catheter.However, as it is not possible to confirm how the product has been used, the root cause cannot be determined.H3 other text : see h10.
