H.6.Investigation: bd has been provided with photos and the affected sample for catalog 301948 lot 1901137 to investigate for this record.Visual examination of the sample identifies the foreign matter as grease allocated between the barrel and plunger.As a result, bd was able to verify the reported issue.The presence of this grease contamination was due to an incorrect use of it during the assembly machine maintenance process.An incorrect practice during this maintenance allowed the presence of this grease in the machine which finally ended inside the syringe.The device history review showed no indication of the alleged defect.
