Complaint allegation is confirmed.One unpackaged ar-13999mff fastpass scorpion sl-mf with flushport lot number: 15208920 was received for investigation.Visual inspection noted that when the device was actuated, the jaws would not close completely.Functional testing was not performed due to the damage to the device.The most likely cause for the reported failure can be attributed to user error of the device due to excessive force being used during firing of the needle.
