H6: investigation summary one sample was received for quality investigation.The customer complaint of component damage was verified by inspection.Evaluation of the sample received shows that one of the smartsites in the assembly is stuck in the open position.A needleless syringe was inserted into the smartsite in order to see if the smartsite would then go back to normal operation after moving the blue insert.After removing the needless syringe, the blue insert in the smartsite valve remained in the open position.Further examination does not indicated excessive solvent in the component or any debris that may be restricting the movement of the smartsite insert.A device history record review for model 20062e lot number 20096038 was performed.The search showed that a total of (b)(4) units in 1 lot number was built on 18sep2020.There were no quality notifications issued for the failure mode reported by the customer during the production build of this set.The root cause for the piston of the smartsite not closing was caused by the smartsite body being out of dimension, which causes the smartsite to look like it is open, when it is actually in its normal position.A quality notification has been created in order to correct this issue.The quality notification included the molding team performing corrective maintenance in the mold of the molding machine for the smartsite body.This corrective maintenance was conducted after the creation of the reported lot number of this extension set.
