A device history record review was completed for provided material number 305886 and lot number 2101009.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 needle samples of the same lot number were obtained from the manufacturing facility.The retained samples were assembled with a bd discardit 2ml syringe.No signs of defective hub connection or leakage were observed.Based on the investigation results, an exact cause related to the manufacturing process could not be determined.Engagement force is measured during the manufacturing process as part of the in-process inspections and final testing prior to release.This lot was found to be within specifications.Smartslip technology ¿ has been introduced to help ensure a secure connection is made with luer slip syringes (the most common syringe design in europe).We recommend that the user closely follow the instructions for use, which are unique in recommending that the user push firmly when attaching the needle to the syringe and to be sure that the clip is activated.The clip acts as an indicator that a suitable force has been applied to engage the needle hub.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.
