Manufacturer Narrative

The device history record (dhr) for lot 234646x was reviewed.During the manufacturing of the syringe assemblies, 1,056 syringes were visually inspected, and 429 syringes were physically tested with 0 defects recorded relating to this customer report.The dhr for the lot control indicates that product and specification requirements were met with no non-conforming product identified relating to this customer report.The manufacturing site received sixteen 60ml regular tip syringes in a unit carton with the top panel of the unit carton removed.A complete investigation was performed.A visual inspection to the quality inspection standard was conducted.One of the syringe samples was unpackaged.One heat stake between the cap and sleeve was broken on one of the samples.Illegible lot number on the syringe cap was identified on one of the samples received.A slight blemish was identified on the luer tip on two of the syringe samples.Leak testing was performed on all sixteen syringes.The leak test is conducted to verify the syringe draws, holds, and expels fluid properly by inserting the syringe into a rubber block for resistance.The two syringes with the blemish on the luer tip failed the leak testing.Four deficiencies can be confirmed.Two leaking syringe, 1 broken heat stake, and 1 illegible cap print.The most probable cause for the blemish/damaged luer tip that leaks could be from a damaged luer insert in the mold.One possible cause for broken heat stake on one side between the cap and sleeve could be from a jam up in the orientator on the process.If a jam up occurred and the machine operator did not detect a flaw, it would be packaged into accepted product.One possible cause for the missing cap print could be from grease or silicone residue which may have gotten onto the cap during the injection molding process.Sometimes silicone is sprayed in the mold at machine start up if parts are sticking in the mold.Several shots are scrapped prior to saving accepted parts.If enough parts were not scrapped, some residual silicone spray could be present on the cap.During the manufacturing process, the video jet printing of the syringe size and lot number information on the cap can be smeared or wiped off.Process controls are in place to ensure that personnel are trained and certified in the operation of the molding, printing, assembly, and packaging equipment.Personnel are trained and certified in the process of product evaluation and documentation requirements.During manufacturing, process inspectors inspect product at periodic intervals to ensure it meets acceptable quality limits (aql).Process inspectors are required to conduct visual and physical evaluations at prescribed intervals and cannot release product unless the required aql has been met per the specification.Procedures and standard work instructions exist for the set-up, operation, and maintenance of the molding machines and assembly machines.Cleaning and maintenance requirements are defined and implemented to ensure continuing process capability.Per procedure, complaint trends are evaluated during the monthly corrective/preventative action (capa) meeting to determine if a capa is warranted.At this time, there is not enough information and a capa will not be initiated.
