A brownish smear was reported on the inside of the syringe.To support the investigation, one sample in an opened blister package was received for evaluation by the quality team.A visual inspection was conducted, revealing an embedded dark-colored speck located approximately ¾ inch from the syringe barrel flange.No additional defects or imperfections were observed.This type of embedded degraded resin typically occurs during startup or intermittently throughout the injection molding process, when degraded resin can break loose and become incorporated into components.A review of the device history record for material number 302832, lot 5176263, was completed.The review did not identify any quality issues during production that could have contributed to the reported condition, nor were there any related quality notifications.All processes and final inspections were performed in accordance with specification requirements.To date, no other similar events have been reported for this lot.Based on the investigation and analysis of the returned sample, the customer¿s reported observation has been confirmed.We appreciate you taking the time to bring this observation to our attention.Complaints received for this device and reported condition will continue to be tracked and trended.Information will be captured on trend reports and monitored monthly.Our business team regularly reviews the collected data for identification of emerging trends.
