Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
A device history review was performed for lot number 20kar009, product code (b)(4) and no discrepancies were registered related to this failure mode reported.All quality assurance testing performed during the manufacturing process was acceptable.The inspection results indicated that the product met the specification requirements.The sample was not returned for investigation; therefore, an evaluation of the complaint product for deficiency of construction could not be performed.The issue could be associated with the operator incorrectly performing the glue application when assembling the velcro.Per specification requirements, two hot melt adhesive glue dots 1/4" in diameter must be applied to assemble the velcro.But without the sample, the root cause would be unknown.If a sample is received at a later date, a follow up report will be made.The complaint information was informed to the relevant sectors for their awareness.There is no action taken at this time, but we will continue to monitor the trend of this type of incident.

Event or Problem Description
|
|
Customer reported the drape is thinner in all areas.During an open heart procedure when trying to open the velcro in the pockets, the velcro stayed closed and tore the drape.Customer stated non-perforating instruments that secure tubing to the drape tore the drape and separated the layers and the weight of one surgical instrument is enough to shred the drape; add one line of tubing and it will fall to the floor.The surgeon had to use an antibiotic irrigation for the open chest to hopefully prevent sternal infection.Customer could not determine which they administered, either kefzol 2gm or vancomycin 1gm.No further issue to patient was reported post-op.Event date unknown.
