    DUE TO AN IT ISSUE BEGINNING ON (B)(6) 2018, PREVIOUSLY FILED EMDRS DID NOT CONTAIN REQUIRED FIELDS. THIS SUPPLEMENTAL EMDR IS FILED TO PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING OMITTED FIELDS: SEX: UNKNOWN. EVENT ATTRIBUTED TO: OTHER. DEVICE SINGLE USE?: NO. DEVICE RETURNED TO MANUFACTURE: YES. THE THREE USED SAMPLES THAT WERE RETURNED BY THE CUSTOMER FROM LOT 7235633 AND 8002923 SHOWED SIGNS THAT THE PLUNGER ROD COLLAPSED BEFORE THE END OF INJECTION; THE STOPPER WAS NOT BOTTOMED OUT, THE CUTTER WAS VISIBLE AND THE PLUNGER ROD WAS NOT FULLY DEPRESSED IN ALL OF THE RETURNED SAMPLES. A STYLET WAS RAN THROUGH EACH OF THE CANNULA AND THERE WERE NO INDICATIONS THAT THE CANNULA WAS CLOGGED. ADDITIONALLY, 600 PIECES FROM LOT 7235633 AND 8002923 SENT FROM DC CANADA WERE TESTED FOR PLUNGER ROD COLLAPSE AND STOPPER/HUB FORCE. ALL 600 SAMPLES WERE FOUND TO BE WITHIN THE SPECIFICATION. A DEVICE HISTORY RECORD REVIEW SHOWED NO REJECTED INSPECTIONS OR QUALITY ISSUES DURING THE PRODUCTION OF THE PROVIDED LOT NUMBER THAT COULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE REPORTED DEFECT. MOREOVER, A LIST OF FINISHED GOOD LOTS WHICH WERE DISTRIBUTED IN CANADA WAS PROVIDED AND THE IN-PROCESS INSPECTIONS WERE PULLED FOR THIS CHARACTERISTIC (4,000 + SAMPLES). BETWEEN THE TWO LOTS WITH THE REPORTED ISSUE (7235633 AND 8002923), THEY SPANNED THE MAJORITY OF THE OBSERVED PROCESS VARIATION (BEFORE AND AFTER) THE REPORTED ISSUE. THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT SPECIFIC FORCES WOULD EXACERBATE THE CUSTOMER¿S EXPERIENCE SINCE THEY HAD ISSUES WITH LOTS WITH BOTH ¿EASIER¿ AND ¿HARDER¿ TO COLLAPSE PLUNGER RODS. AT THIS POINT THERE IS NOTHING IN OUR INTERNAL DATA (4,000+ READINGS) THAT WOULD INDICATE THAT THE TWO REPORTED LOTS ARE SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER LOT CONSUMED IN TERMS OF PERFORMANCE. THE RECOMMENDATION FROM BD TO TORONTO WESTERN HOSPITAL ON (B)(6) 2018 WAS TO USE INTEGRA PRODUCTS WITH 21GA NEEDLE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AND EVALUATE PRODUCT PERFORMANCE, THIS ACTION WAS RECOMMENDED BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT 21GA NEEDLES WILL PERFORM BETTER WITH THE HIGH VISCOSITY MEDICATIONS USED BY CUSTOMER. THE CUSTOMER WELCOMED THE RECOMMENDATION AND AGREED TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK AFTER THE TRIAL. 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.
