A nurse reported that on (b)(6) 2018, during a craniotomy for a recurrent tumor, a bmw2021 (bilayer matrix wound dressing 2x2 single) was implanted instead of a duragen.When medical staff discovered that they implanted a wound dressing on the brain instead of duragen, the surgeon wanted to bring the patient back to operating room approximately 24 hours later to implant the duragen.No patient consequences reported, and the patient¿s current condition is fine.Patient is a female in her 70¿s.Staff and physician felt that the packaging was not clear which lead to use of the incorrect product.

The device was not returned for evaluation therefore the failure analysis to identify root cause to the end users experience could not be determined.No product lot number was provided with this complaint.A serial number that looked like a lot number was provided.However, this is not a valid lot number either.Therefore, dhr review cannot be performed.All skin product goes through incoming inspection post-sterilization for labeling and boxing inspection post-boxing.Each type of product is clearly packaged in a box containing artwork and labeling for that product only.In addition, the box also contains the indications of use.Therefore, the likelihood that ¿unclear packaging¿ led to use of wrong product is very low.Since no valid lot number or pictures of product/ packaging were provided, the root cause cannot be determined.
