Patient information was not provided.A lot number was reported.Internal tests results, generated at the time of manufacture, were reviewed.Also, samples from the lot were tested; each of the test results for lot 337ldl were within specification.The cause for this event is not clear and could not be established.Information related to the product application and removal technique was not known.Such reactions are likely not entirely related to ioban; adverse symptoms may possibly be due to the surgical procedure that most likely involved tissue manipulation, electrocautery, lift of the drape related to placement of the sternal retractor, irrigation, mechanisms of which may include superficial soft tissue ischemia (compromise of blood supply) and trauma.The product instructions for use (ifu) states the drape should be applied without tension.The ifu also states the drape should be removed by gently peeling it back at a 180-degree angle from the skin.
