H.6.Investigation: six 3ml integra syringes with needles in fully sealed blister packs confirmed to be from batch #7177705 (b)(4) were received and evaluated.All the syringes were received with the stopper in the 0.2ml position.One syringe was removed from the package and disassembled.It was observed there was a small hub deformation but would not affect the retraction mechanism.Five syringes visually inspected though the package with no observable defects.The six samples were tested for retraction activation force.All samples were acceptable per product specification and the plunger rods were bottomed out.Although no defect was observed, the premature retraction described may be due to the density of the medication used and how the medication was being administered at the time.Root cause not defined since defects were not confirmed in the samples received.A device history record review showed no rejected inspections or quality issues during the production of the provided lot number that could have contributed to the reported defect.H3 other text : see h.10.
