The following fields were updated due to additional information: device available for eval yes, returned to manufacturer on: 2021-12-07.Investigation summary our quality engineer inspected the samples and photograph submitted for evaluation.Bd received 98 units and one photo.The photo showed a view of the end of a 22ga catheter adapter that had a smashed outer thread, confirming the reported defect.It was also noticed that there were traces of media and clear fluid present inside and outside the adapter.Upon inspection of the received units, it was observed that eight units had damaged to the outer threads and ten units had scuff markings on the adapter which is considered to be a cosmetic defect.The remaining units did not have any defects.It was also noted that the damage in the photo did not match the damage observed in the returned units.Damage to the outer threads of the adapter may prevent a connection to be achieved and result in leakage; therefore, function testing was performed on the damaged units.A secure connection was achieved for all eight units.The units were then tested for leakage.No leakage was observed from any of the damaged adapters.Although a secure connection was achieved and no leakage occurred, the reported defect was confirmed and determined to most likely be related to the manufacturing process.Damage to the luer may occur due to misalignment between the adapter and manufacturing equipment, resulting in excess force to the wall of the adapter.Preventative maintenance and quality inspections are performed at regular intervals 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.
