According to the facility, "brown specs were found on a sealed syringe on the plunger part," found prior to use, with no patient involvement; "no foreign material was noted inside the syringe fluid pathway." the batch record was reviewed and all considered acceptance criteria were met; a review of 240 syringe retains was performed and zero syringes were found containing a brown stain on the plunger of the syringe outside of the fluid-path.The reported issue was confirmed because the sample received contains the same issue in question, brown staining on the plunger outside of the fluid path.The low filled syringes and syringes with missing tip caps exiting the filler room were determined to be the most likely root cause causing saline spillage onto the sterilizer trays and in the sterilizer; no medical intervention, serious injury, or follow-up care has been reported.There were no reports of death, serious injury, medical intervention, or follow up care.It has been determined that the reported event could cause or contribute to serious injury if it were to occur again.In an abundance of caution, this is a reportable event.If additional information becomes available this report will be reopened and reevaluated.This medical device report (mdr) is being submitted as part of retrospective review activities, which include review of historical data in accordance with regulations at 21 cfr part 803.The information included in this mdr reflects the information reasonably known to the manufacturer at the time of this retrospective review and submission.
