Manufacturer Narrative

H3, h6: we have now concluded our investigation for the complaint received.A review of the associated batch manufacturing records did not identify any issue at the point of manufacture which may have caused or contributed to the issues highlighted by the complainant.In addition it can be confirmed that all finished product specification testing was satisfied at the point of release.The complaint history file contains a small number of further instances of the reported event in the last 3 years.It was reported that the dressings were used for treatment and creasing was found on the film.Samples returned for evaluation were examined and found to be creased and lifted from the final back tab paper as described in the complaint.This confirmed a relationship between the reported event and the device.There are checks in place to prevent creasing of the film.If creasing is identified during in-process checks, it is tabbed and recorded in the fault log.Minor creasing can sometimes occur in the film during the adhesive application process at the start or end of the roll.As in-process checks failed to identify creasing to the film on this occasion, the most probable root cause was determined as a manufacturing process issue.The alleged failure mode and any associated harm is mitigated in the risk files for this product this investigation is now complete with no corrective actions required.Smith + nephew will continue to monitor for any adverse trends relating to this product range.
