    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    INVESTIGATION SUMMARY: VISUAL INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE DELIVERY TUBE WAS RETURNED SEPARATE FROM THE LOADING DEVICE. THE SEAL AND THE TENSION SPRING ASSEMBLY WERE INSIDE THE LOADING DEVICE, UNDER THE WINDOW. THE GREEN SLIDE LOCK AND THE WHITE PLUNGER WERE DEPRESSED ON THE DELIVERY DEVICE. THERE WAS SLIGHT EVIDENCE OF BLOOD ON THE DEVICE. BASED UPON THESE FINDINGS, THE REPORTED FAILURE "SEAL DID NOT LOAD PROPERLY" WAS CONFIRMED. AS STATED IN THE IFU, THE USER SHOULD ENSURE THAT THE LOCK IS LOCKED. IF THE LOCK IS UNLOCKED, CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID ANY ACCIDENTAL DEPRESSING OF THE PLUNGER. A LOT HISTORY RECORD REVIEW WAS COMPLETED FOR THE REPORTED PRODUCT LOT NUMBER. THERE WAS NO NONCONFORMANCE WHICH COULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THIS FAILURE MODE. INTERNAL FILE NUMBER - (B)(4).
