The customer reported the set would not prime and returned one used sample of material #: 10014914 batch #: 23085440.The set was visually examined for defects and abnormalities.No defects or abnormalities were observed.The set was primed with water with a bd 10 ml syringe and the occlusion was verified.Upon closer inspection, the male luer tip was clogged with a dusty white substance.Even when the luer was attempted to be cleaned out with a needle, the occlusion remained.The device was manufactured at north america molding center (namc).The likely root cause defined by namc for chalky white substance is that this occurred due to inadequate cleaning and the mold needing further cleaning and polishing activities.A quality alert was posted at the press to remind operators of proper cleaning and polishing activities.The defect appears to be isolated to this one batch, and the defect will be monitored through quality notifications and complaint trending.Device history record review for model 10014914 lot number 23085440 was performed.The search showed that a total of (b)(4) units in 1 lot number was built on 23aug2023.There were no quality notifications issued for the failure mode reported by the customer during the production build of this set.This incident has been added to our database of reported incidents.Our business team regularly reviews the collected data for identification of emerging trends.Your assistance in this matter has been helpful in trend identification and supporting our commitment to continuous quality improvement.Should there be any additional questions as it relates to this (b)(4), please contact your sales support representative, (b)(4).
