(b)(4). Investigation results: one sample was received for evaluation. During the evaluation, it was noted that the cannula needle was broken. Therefore, the reported condition was confirmed. A review of applicable manufacturing, inspection, and packaging procedures did not identify any issues that may have contributed to the reported condition. Specifically, manufacturing and inspection procedures require personnel to verify that each needle functions as intended prior to release of the product. No issues were found during review of the internal production records for the lot indicated that could result in the reported condition. This includes review of all raw material and components used during the manufacture of the lot involved. In addition, even though there was no evidence that instructions were not followed properly, the description of the event did not mention the angle to which the steady pressure and twisting motion were applied, and section #7, #13 and #14 of the product? S instructions for use are critical to the proper use of the needle. The instructions state that if when redirecting the needle (cannula) the angle during this process is beyond 20 degrees, this could cause the needle (cannula) to bend or break. The most probable root cause could not be determined, as during review of the applicable manufacturing, inspection, and packaging processes, no issues were found that could relate personnel, manufacturing method or materials to the reported condition. The manufacturing plant will continue to monitor this issue to identify the need for any further actions.
