Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Investigation results: the complaint of a leak was confirmed and the cause appeared to be manufacturing related.One photograph and one 18g nexiva unit from lot 4156835 were provided for investigation.The cannister and septum were noted to be deformed within the catheter adapter, which likely created a fluid path that allowed fluid to leak.The appropriate manufacturing personnel were notified of this complaint.A review of our risk management documentation was performed and indicates that the potential risk of the reported event was assessed appropriately.
