H.6.Investigation: one protector attached to a vial along with an injector was returned to our quality team for investigation.The product was visually inspected and a grey particle consistent with the rubber stopper of the vial was observed inside the vial.All product was evaluated, no defects or damage observed, the protector fit securely to the vial, and there was no damage noted on the membrane or needle of the protector.It was noted the protector needle penetrated the vial stopper off center.Fragmentation testing is performed according to procedure, to evaluate any particulates generated after ten activations.As a lot number was unavailable for this incident, a device history record review could not be completed and additional retained samples could not be investigated.While phaseal needles are designed to reduce coring, there are several factors that may impact coring tendency.Coring from the membrane may occur due to fragmentation caused by multiple injections or excessive welding of the membrane.Coring of the rubber stopper may result depending on the stopper quality, the design and dimensions of the needles used, or if a poor connection of the protector occurs.It is important to ensure the vial is not expired as that can impact the quality of the rubber stopper.Based on the available we are not able to identify a definitive root cause at this time.
