H11: section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.The complaint of difficult obturator removal was confirmed and the cause was supplier related.The product returned for evaluation was two 45mm intraosseous (io) needles.Two samples were received in sealed packages.Removal of the obturators from the two sealed samples was successful and unremarkable.Removal of the rotated obturator was ultimately successful; however, resistance was encountered.During manipulation, the needle luers felt loose within the obturator hubs.Needle and obturator hub features were measured using a digital microscope and a top-down viewing angle.Those measurements were compared against the specifications.Several dimensions were found to be outside of manufacturing specifications.The obturators were successfully removed from the needle shafts; however, the loose fit between the obturator and needle hubs can result in difficult separation following drilling procedures.The loose fit was caused by the two components being manufactured outside of specifications.This appeared to have occurred during the molding process.The products are supplied components and the supplier has been notified of this event.There have been updates to the molding of the equipment, the affected products were manufactured prior to those updates.
