(b)(4) follow up mdr for correction/device evaluation: correction: following submission of initial mdr, it was identified the second impacted lot was not submitted.Additional impacted lot 2311127.Batch creation: 2023-11-27.Batch expiration: 2028-10-31.Full udi: (b)(4).Device evaluation: no photos or physical samples of the 20ml syringe involved in this incident, were available for investigation.Lubricant is employed during the syringe assembly process to help facilitate movement of the plunger and stopper.The silicone employed in this product is a medical grade silicone authorized for product use.Silicone content tests are performed during the manufacturing process of each lot number.Results were reviewed for lot 2311127 and 2312044 and were found to be within specification.A device history review was performed for reported lots 2311127 and 2312044, no deviations or non-conformances were identified during the manufacturing process that could have contributed to this issue.Six retained samples were used for additional evaluation.All product was inspected, no evidence of silicone was observed within the syringes and silicone content testing confirmed the product met required specifications.Due to the viscosity of the lubricant, it is possible to see evidence of it when moving the stopper from being fully seated at the top of the syringe, this does not indicate that the silicone is in excess.A project has been initiated to further review our silicone process.Complaints received for this device and reported condition will be monitored by our quality team for signs of emerging trends.
