The following fields were updated due to additional information: d.9.Device available for eval?: yes.D.9.Returned to manufacturer on: 14-apr-2022.H.6.Investigation: our quality engineer inspected sample and photographs submitted for evaluation.Bd received one 22g x 1.00in.Insyte autoguard unit with no documentation to indicate the reference number or lot number.Additionally, four photos were provided for investigation.In the first three photos the unit can be seen in an un-retracted state.The fourth photo shows the same unit with the needle retracted.No media can be seen in any of these photos.The returned unit was similar to the photographed unit; however, black and red media was present inside the grip and barrel.Looking at the provided pictures and the picture taken before decontamination media is not present in those photos.Therefore, it is likely that the media was introduced during the decontamination procedure.Additionally, since three of the provided pictures show the unit in an un-retracted state, it is likely that the unit was not used.Further microscopic inspection found that there was a single scratch on the needle cover, the catheter tubing and needle were not bent, and the needle hub itself was bent.Bending as seen in this unit is known to prevent retraction of the needle.The reported issue was confirmed.This was physical/mechanical evidence to confirm and support a manufacturing process related issue for the reported defect.A device history record review showed no non-conformances associated with this issue during the production of this batch.H3 other text : see h.10.
