N3 j injector and saline bag received for investigation.Upon visual inspection, no defect was found in the membrane, nor in the injector cannula.Gray foreign matter was observed inside the saline bag.Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was performed to identify the foreign matter.The foreign substance was composed of butyl rubber and silicic acid compounds, usually coming from the rubber stopper of the syringe and from the phaseal membrane (talcum powder).As the lot involved in this incident is unknown, a complaint history review cannot be performed.Fragmentation testing is performed according to procedure, to evaluate any particulates generated by the injector when mated to other components after ten activations.While phaseal needles are designed to reduce coring, there are several factors that may impact coring tendency.Coring from the membrane may occur due to fragmentation caused by multiple injections or excessive welding of the membrane.Coring of the rubber stopper may result depending on the stopper quality, the design and dimensions of the needles used, or if a poor connection of the protector occurs, or if an incorrect stopper is used as in this case.The product undergoes inspections throughout the manufacturing process to ensure the quality and functionality of the device, including verification that all critical dimensions are within specification and that there is no damage to the product.Based on our investigation and given the device records did not identify any failures related to this incident, we are not able to determine a root cause related to our manufacturing process at this time.It is important to ensure that the vial is not expired, as this may affect the quality of the rubber stopper.
