Two photos were received by our quality team for evaluation.The images show a 27ga (gray) needle along with its components (needle-hub, stylet-handle, and shield).In one photo the needle seems to be bent and in the other photo the needle and/or stylet seem to be damaged.The reported incident could be verified.A device history record review found no non-conformances associated with this issue during production of this batch.Based on the quality team's investigation, the most probable causes of a bent needle and damaged shield are associated with manufacturing when the stylet is assembled to the cannula, the shield is installed onto the cannula, and the components are unloaded from the machine.Additionally, shield damage may occur during manual storage and handling of the needles following assembly.This incident has been added to our database of reported incidents.
