Investigation summary bd had not received samples or photos of the defects for investigation.Therefore, 50 retention samples from bd inventory were evaluated by visual examination and nothing abnormal was found from the rubber sleeves.Also, functional testing was conducted on 8 retained samples using tube holders and nothing abnormal was observed as no rubber sleeve retracting defects, side-piercing defects or leakage during the test.Furthermore, as simulation, a luer adapter was inserted to a bd blood collection tube without being attached to a bd single use holder, and the rubber sleeve root was displaced onto the thread of the needle hub, causing the needle tip was exposed from near the rubber sleeve tip.Based on a review of the device history record for the incident lot, all product specifications and requirements for lot release were met.There were no related quality issues during manufacturing of the product.This complaint is unable to be confirmed for the indicated failure mode of sleeve leakage.Bd determined that the root cause of the indicated failure mode was attributed to the luer adapter not attached to the holder before inserting the tube.This caused the rubber sleeve to be displaced onto the thread of the needle hub and the needle tip got exposed due to excessive insertion force.Complaints received for this device and reported condition will continue to be tracked and trended.Our business team regularly reviews the collected data for identification of emerging trends.
