Investigation: our quality engineer inspected the sample and photographs submitted for evaluation.Bd received one used 22g x 1.00in.Insyte autoguard bc pro unit from lot number 1104380.Additionally, six photographs were provided for investigation which displayed the last coil on the distal end of the spring appearing to be out of place.A gross visual inspection of the returned sample found that the button was pressed down, but the needle was not retracted.Further microscopic inspection did not find any adhesive or bound spring coils.As the out of place coil seen on the images was not observed with the unit un-retracted, the unit was forcibly retracted.Upon retraction of the unit, the distal end of the spring could be seen reaching into the needle hub area.The defect was attempted to be replicated using the returned unit.Upon pushing the needle back out, the last coil of the spring got jammed between the needle hub and body of the grip, preventing the needle from retracting.The spring was further inspected, and no damage was found to the surface of the spring itself.However, the last coil was found to be smaller in diameter then the other coils.A damaged spring may potentially alter the springs dimensions, causing it to sit incorrectly against the ridge on the inside of the grip, which prevents it from popping out.The reported issue was confirmed.This was physical/mechanical evidence to confirm and support a manufacturing process related issue for the reported defect relating to incorrect equipment settings or machine misalignment.Functional testing is performed for needle retraction per the sampling and quality control plan to mitigate the risk from this type of defect.A device history record review showed no non-conformances associated with this issue during the production of this batch.
