A device history record review was completed for provided material number 302437 and lot number 2310006.The review did not reveal any detected abnormalities during the production process that could have contributed to the reported defect and all quality tests were found to be within specification.As samples were unavailable for return, twenty (20) retained samples were obtained from the manufacturing facility for review.Through examination of the samples, no defects were identified with the safety mechanisms and it was possible to activate them following the instructions for use.Based on the investigation results, an exact cause could not be determined for this reported incident.Regarding the report of safety mechanisms broken, every lot is tested for safety shield activation before release.The assembly process has a system that inspects all product for proper opening and activation of the safety shield, rejecting any defects identified.If this issue were to reoccur, we would greatly appreciate the opportunity to review the affected sample.At this time, further action has not been determined necessary.Our quality team will continue to closely monitor the manufacturing process for signs of this potential defect and any emerging trends.
