Manufacturer Narrative
|
Customer stated that the shield activation failed when the needle was withdrawn from the patient.
A sample was provided by the customer and investigated by the quality engineer.
It was found that the v-clip was deformed and would not assemble with the catheter adapter successfully.
Current assembly process from the pegasus auto line only checks the presence before assembling which we found the washer can pop out at the low probability.
The production record was reviewed and no non-conformance was noted during the manufacturing of this lot related to complaint issue.
Conclusion: the root cause for this incident was determined to be a deformed v-clip.
