A series of photos were shared by customer, a small particulate is observed over the tip of the spike, also a ftir was performed by the customer, where the result indicates as "abs resin".In other photo the particulate is observed to be floating inside the syringe, no additional anomalies are confirmed.One (1) used.List #kl-bs001u3, chemosafelock bag spike was returned for evaluation.As received the sample was visually inspected and it was confirmed some damage over the chemolock and over the spike tip.However, no white foreign particulate was found over the spike tip or anywhere else.The unknown white particulate and a piece of the spike material were sent for a ftir study, finding no correlation between them.The unknown particulate have a consistency with sensitive "adhesive".Complaint of white foreign material can be confirmed based on the photo shared by the customer.The particulate described shown by the customer in the photos was measured and the size was 1mmx0.3mm, the specific particulate was not returned.However, an unknown white particulate was evaluated and based on the size this is bigger than the one shared by customer.No sensitive adhesive is used in the icu medical products; therefore, the probable source of this particulate cannot be determined.The lot history was reviewed and no nonconformities were identified that may have contributed to the reported complaint.
