Correction: product expert review: from my point of view the issue the costumer experienced is that one: the safety shield disengaged, it can be because the safety shield broke off or because the needle pivot (part where the safety shield is assembled in the hub) breaks.They do not believe that the failure needle broke occurred.Investigation: a device history record review was completed for provided material number 305760 and lot number 2403008.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 of the same lot number were obtained from the manufacturing facility for evaluation.The samples were inspected and no defects were observed with the safety mechanisms.It was possible to activate the safety shield by following the instructions for use.Based on the investigation results, an exact cause could not be determined for the reported incident.Each lot produced is tested prior to final release for safety shield activation.The assembly process has an inspections system which inspects all product for proper opening/activation of the safety shield.Regarding the issue of needle broke off itself at the protective cover, we understand the defect refers to safety shield broke off at the needle pivot and not needle broken.Based on the preventive measures in place, we believe this was an isolated incident with an unlikely chance of recurrence.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.
