The operating room department has been experiencing issues involving the one trays.The trays have been flaking off and divots from the silicone seal around the bracket which holds the filter in place during the sterilization process.There is also noted rust starting to appear on the bottom of the trays prior to use.These trays are newly purchased and have never been used.The operating room team opened an entire container of the one trays and noted all of them were compromised with rust and/or failure of the silicone seal.We have had a water-soluble test completed with results pending.The manufacturer is unsure what is causing the discoloration.Our operating room team did provide one of these trays to a local rep with no information as to their internal evaluation.The rep did bring a new tray, but it also showed signs of discoloration.No patients have been harmed from these trays/incidents.
