A user facility medwatch report ((b)(4)) was received on 03/31/2022 reporting the surgical team opened a chronic ear pack for a procedure.Inside were 10 4x4 x-ray detectable sponges wrapped in a paper band; but there was also a loose 4x4 x-ray detectable sponge loose in the basin.The sample has not been returned for evaluation.Potential root cause: slip lapse assembly error, when placing the gauze into the tray.The assembler possibly pulled 1 each gauze from another stack.Corrective action: the employee responsible for this assembly error, no longer works with deroyal.This incident has been reviewed with the process manager.An inventory check was made by deroyal, a total of 125 gauze was inspected, and no discrepancies were identified during the inspection.This investigation is complete at this time.No further information is available at this time.We will provide follow-up report if additional information becomes available.
