Photos were available for evaluation.Visual examination of the photos show excessive orange dry dye on package (web), foam tip and lidding are not tinted orange which does not indicate pre-activation but orange dye from pledget disperse inside package.The orange dots on the lidding do not infer leakage which may be interpreted as such due to color dispersion of the orange dye, but solution in contained within the glass ampoule.The orange dye is not of foreign matter origin, but is an inactive ingredient inherit in the product by design.The orange dye powder may be dispersed to the outside of the applicator on rare occasions during the assembly, and packaging and is categorized as a cosmetic defect.During the sterilization which uses vapor (water), when in contact with the orange dye brings out exaggerates the orange color intensity.The orange dye is used on the applicator as part of the design to color the solution upon activation by breaking the ampoule and solution flowing thru the hi-lite orange pledget as a visual prepping confirmation on the patient¿s skin.The orange color inside the package does not indicate the product has been activated, leaking, or is dirty (foreign matter).The applicator is sterile if package is intact.As a result, bd verifies the reported issue of stain in foam.The most probable root cause for orange dye around the orange tinted pledget is the equipment, process and / or material variability inherent to the process and design.A production record review was completed for batch/lot 1250598 and no non-conformances were noted during the manufacturing of this lot.No further action is required.This failure will continue to be tracked and trended.See narrative below.
