It was reported that the needle did not retract.When salinizing a venous access, it was noticed that the valved connector was externalized.Additional information received on 03-mar-2026 email follow up: could you please confirm how many units of the product presented the issue/defect? three catheters showed the deviation.When was the issue/defect identified: before, during, or after use? the defect was only observed after the puncture, as the complaint also referred to the needle not being retracted.Was there any harm to the patient's health? if so, please explain in detail.We received no information about damage, but it is a risky circumstance.

To aid in the investigation of this issue, one (1) picture sample was received for evaluation by our quality team.Through examination of the picture, the product appeared used and the safety device was not activated.A device history record review was completed for provided material number 38182314 and lot number 5244226.The review did reveal records of activation failure which may be related to this reported incident.Based on the investigation conducted so far, a likely cause would be a failure in the uv glue application, resulting in the adhesive being applied on the button component and the spring instead of on the component hub.Another possible cause identified would be improper spring forming, resulting in a ¿burst¿ spring, in which the last coil is poorly positioned, preventing the proper downward movement of the hub.Corrective actions related to needle retraction failure are currently being addressed with containment actions and implementations of increased sampling and machine maintenance underway until permanent actions are implemented.
