investigation summary
our quality engineer inspected samples submitted for evaluation.Bd received two opened insyte autoguard units with an opened package and top web, and one unopened unit from lot number 1322255.Upon inspection of the three units only one of the units was observed to have foreign matter present.The foreign matter was located on the grip component of the device only.There was no foreign matter observed elsewhere.The foreign matter observed has a more red-brown appearance in the microscope but more of a reddish appearance under naked eye.A microscopic inspection was performed to determine identifiers which concluded that the foreign matter is red in color and can be wiped or scrapped away.The foreign matter was identified to not be a solid but be partially viscous as identified by scrapping it away.Additionally, the foreign appears to match its surface similar to that of the grip.Although the reported issue was confirmed, it could not be determined if the damage resulted from the manufacturing of the device or from the user environment as the device was returned opened.A device history record review showed no non-conformances associated with this issue during the production of this batch.H3 other text : see h10.
