Manufacturer Narrative

Describe event or problem: it was reported that the bd phaseal¿ injector luer lock n35 safety sleeve broke and the "whole system" detached from the needle.There were 2 occurrences reported with the same catalog and lot number.Individual date/time and or patient information is unknown.Investigation summary: a device history record review was performed for the provided lot number (1801114).The review did not reveal any documented quality issues during the production process that could have contributed to the reported incident.Investigation conclusion: as neither a physical sample nor a picture sample was available for return, five retained samples of the same lot number were obtained for investigation.Visual inspection of the retained samples did not reveal any defects.Each sample was engaged and disengaged several times with a protector product and no defects were observed.Root cause description: injector needles become exposed if they are not properly disengaged, which also results in safety sleeve breakage.It is important to hold onto the white components of the injector when engaging/disengaging; do not grip the blue safety sleeve.If the grips of the safety sleeve become dislocated, the injector is activated causing needle exposure.To avoid damage to the safety sleeve grips, the injector must be removed by pulled it straight back and it cannot be forcefully engaged.It has been determined that this incident most likely occurred due to improper use.Rationale: complaints received for this device and defect will be monitored by our quality team for signs of emerging trends.
