The device was not returned for evaluation.All provided information has been reviewed and we have not been able to confirm a relationship between the device and the reported event or determine a definitive root cause.Probable root causes include allergic reaction by the patient to one of the components of the dressing, an existing skin disorder or incorrect application of the dressing or incorrect skin preparation.The users of the reported product are advised to consult the ifu, to prevent future occurrences of the reported issue.This guide provides comprehensive instructions of the operation, use and limitations of the device.The batch record was 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.The complaint history review confirms a small number of similar complaints with no manufacturing problems observed.The ifu was reviewed.The precautions part of ifu instructed that 'as with all adhesive products, apply and remove carefully from sensitive or fragile skin.If reddening or sensitisation occurs, discontinue use'.A review of prior escalation actions found no actions applicable to the scope of this case.A risk management review concluded that the alleged failure mode and any associated harm has been anticipated within the risk file, with no updates required.Per report, this patient experienced local itching and discomfort about 15 minutes after applying the iv3000 hand dressing and a maculopapular rash was found at the dressing covered area after removing the dressing on his own.However, the information provided is insufficient to determine whether the patient¿s maculopapular rash was due to a pre-existing or concurrent medical or surgical condition or procedure, or to an adverse reaction to or experience with the s+n iv3000, one or more of its components, or its intended therapeutic action.According to the report, the patient removed the dressing and was treated with a topical application of mometasone, and the rash disappeared within one hour.It was reported the next day the patient did not show any signs of the rash or itching.The impact to the patient was the itching, discomfort, rash, and medication.Should any additional relevant medical information be provided, this case would be re-assessed.This investigation is now complete with no further action deemed necessary.Smith and nephew will continue to monitor for any adverse trends relating to this product range.
