    INVESTIGATION SUMMARY: TWO PHOTOS WERE PROVIDED TO OUR QUALITY TEAM FOR INVESTIGATION. UPON INSPECTING THE PHOTO, LIQUID WAS OBSERVED BELOW THE STOPPER, VERIFYING THE REPORTED INCIDENT. THERE IS NO VISIBLE DAMAGE ON THE SYRINGE OR STOPPER THAT WE COULD IDENTIFY THAT MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THIS INCIDENT. A DEVICE HISTORY REVIEW WAS PERFORMED FOR THE REPORTED LOT 2002241, NO DEVIATIONS OR NON-CONFORMANCES WERE IDENTIFIED DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS THAT COULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THIS ISSUE. TEN RETAINED SAMPLES OF LOT 2002241 WERE USED TO CONDUCT A LEAKAGE TEST. THE PRODUCT WAS VISUALLY INSPECTED, NO DEFECTS OR DAMAGE WAS NOTED, THE STOPPER WAS PROPERLY ASSEMBLED ONTO THE PLUNGER, AND NO LEAK WAS IDENTIFIED. FINAL PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUFACTURING LINE, FOR THIS REFERENCE ARE SAMPLED AND THEY ARE SUBJECTED TO VISUAL AND FUNCTIONAL INSPECTIONS DURING THE DIFFERENT MANUFACTURING SUB-PROCESSES ACCORDING TO PROCEDURES. BASED ON THE AVAILABLE INFORMATION WE ARE NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE A ROOT CAUSE AT THIS TIME. INVESTIGATION CONCLUSION: IT HAS BEEN RECEIVED TWO PICTURES FOR INVESTIGATION. UPON VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE PICTURES, IT CAN BE CONFIRMED THAT THERE IS LIQUID BELOW THE STOPPER CONFIRMING THE LEAK BUT I CANNOT SEE ANY DAMAGE TO THE SYRINGE OR STOPPER TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE LEAK. DHR OF LOT 2002241 HAS BEEN REVIEWED NOT FINDING ANY ANNOTATION OR DEVIATION REGARDING THE ALLEGED DEFECT. THE FAILURE MODES AND EFFECTS ANALYSIS FOR PROCESSES AR-2D05 PLASTIPAK SYRINGES ASSEMBLY WAS REVIEWED AND FAILURE ADEQUATELY ASSESSED. TEN RETAINED SAMPLES OF 50 LL LOT 2002241 ARE EVALUATED. UPON VISUAL INSPECTION OF THESE 10 SAMPLES, NO DAMAGE OR MOLDING DEFECT CAN BE OBSERVED IN ANY OF THEM THAT COULD CAUSE LEAKAGE. THE STOPPER IS CORRECTLY ASSEMBLED TO THE PLUNGER IN THE TEN SAMPLES. LEAK TEST IS ALSO CARRIED OUT WITH THE 10 RETAINED SAMPLES ACCORDING TO PROCEDURE PC-039 AND ISO 7886-1 ANNEX D. ALL OF THEM MEET ISO 7886-1 ANNEX D. THEY ARE DISASSEMBLED NOT OBSERVING ANY DAMAGE IN PLUNGER ROD THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED LEAKAGE. TIGHTNESS TEST IS PERFORMED TO EVERY SYRINGE IN ASSEMBLY STATION DURING MANUFACTURING PROCESS. IN CASE ANY FAILS IT IS REJECTED TO SCRAP AUTOMATICALLY. ACCORDING TO INSPECTION PLAN PROCEDURE JG-500, 200 UNITS ARE INSPECTED EVERY 2 PALLETS BY QUALITY CONTROL TEAM. IN ADDITION, FINAL PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUFACTURING LINE, FOR THIS REFERENCE AND LOT SIZE ARE SAMPLED BY OPERATOR AND THEY ARE SUBJECTED TO VISUAL AND FUNCTIONAL INSPECTIONS DURING THE DIFFERENT MANUFACTURING SUB-PROCESSES ACCORDING TO PROCEDURES (JG-301, JG-302, JG-303 AND JG-304): VISUAL INSPECTION: MOLDING: 2 INJECTIONS PER SHIFT, PRINTING: 32 SAMPLES PER TWO HOURS, AFTER ANY INTERVENTION IN THE EQUIPMENT AND ONCE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SHIFT, ASSEMBLY: 32 SAMPLES PER TWO HOURS, AFTER ANY INTERVENTION IN THE EQUIPMENT AND ONCE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SHIFT, PACKAGING: 1 BOX PER PALLET. FUNCTIONAL INSPECTION: PRINTING: ONCE IN THE FIRST PALLET, ONCE IN THE LAST PALLET OF THE LOT PLUS ONCE PER DAY. ASSEMBLY: ONCE IN THE FIRST PALLET, ONCE IN THE LAST PALLET OF THE LOT PLUS ONCE PER DAY. SINCE NO MANUFACTURING DEFECT CAN BE OBSERVED IN RETAINED SAMPLES EVALUATED AND SINCE THEY MEET ISO 7886-1 ANNEX D FOR LEAK TEST, THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE ALLEGED DEFECT CANNOT BE DETERMINED. 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 QUALITY TEAM REGULARLY REVIEWS THE COLLECTED DATA FOR IDENTIFICATION OF EMERGING TRENDS. ROOT CAUSE DESCRIPTION: CANNOT BE DETERMINED. RATIONALE: SINCE ROOT CAUSE CANNOT BE DETERMINED, NO CORRECTIVE ACTION IS TAKEN AT THIS TIME. BASED ON QDA LIMITS FOR THIS PRODUCT AND DEFECT NO CORRECTIVE ACTION IS REQUIRED AT THIS TIME.

    IT WAS REPORTED THAT AN UNSPECIFIED NUMBER OF BD PLASTIPAK¿ 50 ML CONCENTRIC LUER LOCK SYRINGES EXPERIENCED LEAKAGE PAST THE STOPPER/PLUNGER DURING USE. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION WAS PROVIDED BY THE INITIAL REPORTER: USED A 50 ML SYRINGE TO REMOVE AN ANTICANCER FROM A VIAL.
