The user facility isolated all additional pouches identified with holes and reprocessed the instruments prior to use.Crosstex learned from discussion with user facility personnel that they were not properly folding the pouch seal on the perforated line where the holes were observed resulting in the reported event.Crosstex is not aware of any adverse clinical event associated with this incident and is filing this mdr because sterility of devices processed in the mckesson self-seal pouches cannot be guaranteed unless devices are processed in accordance with the instructions for processing and use.A review of complaints indicates this to be an isolated event.The user facility has discontinued use of the mckesson self-seal pouches.No additional issues have been reported.
