Manufacturer Narrative

Due to an it issue beginning on (b)(6) 2018, previously filed emdrs did not contain required fields.This supplemental emdr is filed to provide the following omitted fields: event attributed to: other.Device single use?: no.Device returned to manufacture: yes.The device history report for lot number 6243927 was reviewed, no related abnormalities were found.Material number (b)(4) for lot 6243927was manufactured on 08/31/2016.This is the first instance of these failure modes with this lot number.According to the sampling plan applied for product performance, this lot was accepted and released, with no defects being noted during final assembly or in packaging visual inspections.A sample was provided for the purpose of aiding our quality engineer's investigation, during evaluation the devices were determined to have broken tubing, bent needles, and a separation between the stylet and needle components.Bd engineers determine the root cause for this event to be related to product use, this conclusion was reached after visual evaluation of the device identified a cut in the tubing that was consistent with slide clamp damage.Once the tubing was lacerated the clamp may have contributed to the damage in the stylet.The bent needle observed by the bd investigators was most likely the result of transportation damage during the return of the sample.Bd will continue to track and trend for this issue.No corrective action was performed since this issue could not be confirmed as manufacturing related.
