H.6.Investigation summary: "material #: 368653 lot/batch #: unknown bd had not received samples, but 2 photos were provided for investigation.The photos were reviewed and the sleeve of the wingset device can be seen detached and stuck in the stopper of a non-bd tube.However, the competitor containment device (blood collection tube) design is not as robust as the bd tubes which have a soft rubber stopper closure that does not allow the sleeve to get caught or hung up.The sleeve compresses on top of the stopper allowing the np needle to pierce through the stopper material.Once removing the tube from the np end, the sleeve then safely retracts back over the np needle (without any leakage) allowing the phlebotomist the opportunity to transfer another tube safely for collection.Other stopper designs in rare cases can trap the wingset sleeve, causing it to pull off, exposing the non-patient (np) needle.Therefore, this complaint cannot be confirmed based on the customer photos provided.In addition, bd was unable to determine the specific lot number associated with this complaint; therefore, a review of the device history record could not be conducted.This complaint is unable to be confirmed.Complaints received for this device and reported condition will continue to be tracked and trended.Our business team regularly reviews the collected data for identification of emerging trends." h3 other text : see h.10.
