H.6.Investigation summary: two photos were received and evaluated.The photos depict finger grips and thumb grip of two 10ml control syringes from unidentified batches.Deformations in the white plastic where it comes in contact with the clear plastic of the barrels were observed.The deformations have the appearance of melting or flash and are located near the weld points.Dhr review for batch #8270914: release date: 10/22/2018.Released quantity was (b)(4).All visual inspections were performed as per requirement.A quality notification was issued for weld issues during the manufacture of this batch.Production was stopped, adjustments were made and product requalified per applicable aql before production resumed.Batch 8270914 was inspected and accepted based on meeting our inspection control plan and subsequently approved for shipment.Dhr review for batch #8323971: release date: 12/12/2018.Released quantity was (b)(4).All visual inspections were performed as per requirement.Welding issues were recorded during the manufacture of this batch.Production was stopped, adjustments were made and product requalified per applicable aql before production resumed.Batch 8323971 was inspected and accepted based on meeting our inspection control plan and subsequently approved for shipment.Physical sample is required to better evaluate the observed defect.Dhr review for batch #8323972: release date: 12/12/2018.Released quantity was (b)(4).All visual inspections were performed as per requirement with no quality notifications related to the complaint defect.Batch 8323972 was inspected and accepted based on meeting our inspection control plan and subsequently approved for shipment.Potential root cause for the flash observed is likely a result of a temporary issue with the welding process.However, a physical sample is required for evaluation and to confirm potential root cause determination.Corrections took place at the time the defects were found in production, including machine adjustments and product requalification per aql.It is possible a limited number of pieces with the observed defect escaped detection.The aql for plastic protruding from the weld area is 1.0%.Defective rate identified is 2 out of batch size 144,000, which is 0.0014%.No additional actions are necessary at this time.Batches 8270914 and 8323971 are considered in compliance with our product specification requirements.Controls are in place which include periodic visual product inspections to ensure containment of defects and overall product quality.Complaints received for this device and reported condition will continue to be tracked and trended.Information will be captured on trend reports and monitored monthly.Our business team regularly reviews the collected data for identification of emerging trends.H3 other text : see section h.10.
