Additional Manufacturer Narrative
D6a: implanted date: device was not implanted.D6b: explanted date: device was not explanted.E3: occupation: rn administrator qa/pi.G4: pma/510(k): not available.The details of the sample's actual condition were unable to be determined as it was not available for evaluation.Retention samples were visually inspected and found to be free of any damage or irregularities on the sheath and collar.Sheath activation, sheath deactivation, and component fit tests were performed on the samples, and all passed.There was no issued nonconformity report related to human error during lot production.There are no nonconformities in the assembled needle lot supplied during production.During the collar assembly process, the hub fit is loosened from the protector before placing the needle into the collar.Prior to proceeding to the next process, the hub, cannula, and collar are pressed into the protector wherein a photoelectric sensor detects if the height of the protector is correct.Our safety needle features a hinged safety sheath attached to the needle hub.The safety sheath contains two locking mechanisms, the sheath tooth-cannula, and sheath wings collar, which are simultaneously activated when manually pressed over the needle immediately after use and just before disposal to minimize the possibility of sharps injury.The collar and sheath undergo an initial product inspection check (ipic) before mass production, during raw material change, mold maintenance, plant shutdown, cavity closure, and mold/product type change.Any molding defects that may affect product function are part of the inspection item.We also have a visual in-process and product confirmation inspection to ensure that the collar and sheath are in good condition.Visual in-process inspections are conducted during the manufacturing process to detect abnormalities on the product that may cause issues during sheath activation.The critical locking part of the sg3 product is checked for defects such as short shot, sheath collar fitting, and over or under insertion of the collar into the hub.We have functional tests conducted to confirm that our products are free of defects that would lead to difficulty or failure of device activation.We perform safety sheath activation during sg assembly inspection and outgoing inspection of finished products where the cannula should be captured under the sheath's tooth.During the component fit test, we also check that the sheath lugs are securely attached to the collar ear.Before shipment, qc conducts outgoing inspections to check the overall condition of the products.The product's instructions for use (ifu) provide detailed instructions for using the sg3 safety needle device, including warnings to prevent needle sticks.The collar and sheath are manufactured in-house with validated tpc molding machines.There were no nonconformance reports issued for the supplied molded part lots.From the previous three fiscal years to the present, we received a total of five (5) complaints for the specific item code.The cause of these complaints was not identified as being related to our product or the manufacturing process.Retention samples of 25g needles were simulated.The samples were activated using three methods: finger, thumb, and hard surface activation.All of the samples were successfully activated, and the cannula was captured under the sheath tooth.There were no difficulties encountered during the activation.Based on the investigation, we cannot identify the cause of the problem.Limited information was provided related to the complaint.A review of the product's lot history file revealed no related issues that would prevent the safety sheath from activating, resulting in a needlestick injury to the user.We have routine inspections to check the condition of the products.The components that are critical to the product's safety activation are checked to ensure that no defects occur that could result in sheath activation issues.We recommend following the instructions for use (ifu) for proper use of the sg3 needle, which includes caution, precautions, and warnings to avoid problems during sheath activation.Terumo medical corporation (tmc) (importer) registration no.2243441 is submitting this report on behalf of terumo (philippines) corporation (manufacturer) registration no.3003902955.
