Additional Manufacturer Narrative

A device history record review was completed for provided material number 305760 and lot number 2011006.The review did not reveal any abnormalities detected during the production process that could have contributed to the reported defect, and all quality tests were found to be within specification.To aid in the investigation of this issue, one (1) physical sample was received for evaluation by our quality team.Through examination of the sample, it was observed that the snap clip was activated.The needle was clogged with the medication used, as the light could not be seen through the needle itself, so movement through the needle could not be performed.Based on the returned sample, we could observe that the snap clip had been connected.The snap clip is the part of the needle that assures a proper connection with the syringe has been made.Based on the sample results, no manufacturing related defects were identified, and an exact cause could not be determined for the reported issue.It is possible that the handling of the product had an implication in the reported event.Based on the preventive measures in place, we believe the probability of this defect is very low 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.
