Manufacturer Narrative

H.6.Investigation: one picture sample was received for evaluation by our quality engineer.Through visual inspection of the picture sample, the cannula was observed exposed and the grips of the safety sleeve were out of place.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.The instructions for use must be carefully followed when using the phaseal devices.Retraining is recommended to prevent this issue's reoccurrence.Dhr: n/a - no lot.
