Investigation: received one used iag/bc 22ga unit from an unknown lot number.The unit consisted of the needle safety barrel assembly and needle cover.Observed the needle was partially retracted leaving the needle exposed and the white button was depressed.Observed the spring was bound.The needle then reassembled to the out position, the button was depressed and the needle retracted fully into the safety barrel.Observed the spring was no longer bound.Although the review of the dhr is required for all mdr per (b)(4), a review could be performed as no lot number was provided for this incident.Conclusions: the defect of needle retraction failure; as stated as the reported code was confirmed with the returned unit.Bound springs are typically caused by a larger od that causes one portion of the spring to become overlapped by another portion of the spring during compression caused by loading the hub.
