Investigation: two photo samples and two physical samples were provided to our quality engineer for investigation.Through visual inspection, it was observed that the stopper was incorrectly assembled to the plunger, distorted against the barrel wall in one of the received samples.When inspecting the product, no foreign matter was identified, however, the photo provided did display a foreign substance.A device history review was performed for reported lots 1811230 and 1901245, no deviations or non-conformances related to the reported issues were identified during the manufacturing process.Product undergoes a series of testing and inspections throughout the manufacturing process to avoid defects with our products.While we could not identify a direct issue for either reported malfunction, it was determined the distorted stopper occurred as a result of improper alignment of the plunger/stopper to the barrel during assembly.Currently a root cause for the foreign matter noted in the photo cannot be determined.Projects have been opened for both malfunctions to further investigate the issue and reduce any reoccurrence.
