Manufacturer Narrative

H6: investigation summary: one photo was received by our quality team for evaluation.The photo was visually inspected for a bent needle and broken needle.From the photo, the catheter was observed to be bent together with the needle at the base of the catheter adapter.The needle did not appear to be broken.A device history record review found no non-conformances associated with this issue during production of this batch.A simulated sample was tested in the lie distance 100% vision inspection system.The vision inspection system was able to fail and reject this sample due to the sample being out of the camera scope if the needle was bent.As no sample was returned for evaluation, an actual root cause could not be established.This incident has been added to our database of reported incidents.Our business team regularly reviews the collected data for identification of emerging trends.
