NO SAMPLE WAS RETURNED FOR EVAL AND NO LOT # INFO WAS PROVIDED FOR DEVICE HISTORY REVIEW. A PREVIOUS STUDY FOUND THAT EXCESSIVE FORCE (>6LBS) WAS REQUIRED TO BE APPLIED TO THE CANNULA ABOVE WHAT IS NORMALLY EXPERIENCED (1-2 LBS) IN THE PROCEDURE FOR BREAKAGE TO RESULT. AN ANALYSIS OF THE LABELING FOUND THE FOLLOWING: CAUTION: NEEDLES ARE NOT INTENDED TO PENETRATE BONE. IF RESISTANCE IS ENCOUNTERED, VERIFY NEEDLE POSITION. DO NOT PUSH INTO BONE; THIS MAY CAUSE NEEDLE TO BEND OR BREAK. REPLACE NEEDLE IF CANNULA, OR POINT IS DAMAGED. BASELINE REPORT PREVIOUSLY FILED.
