Manufacturer Narrative

It was reported that the dressing had damage arrayed in linear disposition, following the dressing pattern with small holes on the surface.The device was used for treatment and was returned for analysis.The samples were as described in the complaint which meant we have been able to confirm a relationship between the event and the device.The batch records were reviewed and it could be confirmed that the products had progressed through a satisfactory release process which involved testing the product against the requirements of the finished product specification.There was also no issue identified during the manufacturing process that could have caused or contributed to the complaint problem.A complaint history review revealed a small number of similar instances in the last three years.There is nothing to indicate that this is outside of acceptable rates of occurrence.The risk files, mitigate the reported issues with no updates required.Root cause has been traced to an issue during manufacture.On occasion, debris may stick to a roller that the film goes around and when the film then lifts from the roller, parts of it adhere to the debris, causing damage to the film.Checks are in place to prevent this issue and the roller is periodically cleaned to remove any debris.This investigation is now complete, with no corrective actions required.No further actions by smith and nephew are deemed necessary at this stage.However, we will continue to monitor for any adverse trends relating to this product range.Smith and nephew acknowledge customer concern and are continually investigating ways to develop and improve our products.
