The following fields were updated due to additional information: d9: device available for eval?: yes.D9: returned to manufacturer on: 1/14/2022.H6: investigation: one photo and five samples were received by our quality team for evaluation.From the photo, slant scale marking was observed in reference to the bd logo and stopper edge.The team was unable to observe a distorted stopper as the photo is unclear.All samples were subjected to visual inspection.No distorted stopper was observed on the returned samples.Slight skewed scale marking was observed on all five returned samples.The samples were subjected to volumetric testing and passed.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 root cause of the distorted stopper could not be determined as no distorted stopper was observed.Current controls to prevent this nonconformance include a vision system at the 3ml line to check for product with stopper mis-assembly and will be auto-rejected at the reject station.The vision system is also challenged every shift with accordance to the assembly process daily checklist.Although there is a slight skew in the scale marking, it does not affect the dosage of the solution as the volumetric test is within specification.An investigation was conducted at the syringe apex printing machine to find the cause of the skewed printing.The printing pad set up plays an important role to achieve good printing on the barrel.With a good printing pad set up, consistent printing is achieved as the printing pad is secured on the printing drum.It was understood that any slight skewed printing was deemed acceptable during routine inspection as this defect does not affect the volumetric test.Therefore, the root cause is attributed to the inattentiveness of the slight skewed printing defect by the production technician during printing pad set-up and by both the manufacturing and quality assurance associate during routine inspection.
