Event or Problem Description
It was reported that prior to a surgical procedure, on the back table, a black l shape object was found on the truliant insert.This object was in the evoh package.The surgeons would like to know where this object came from.No impact to a patient since this was found before surgery.Surgical delay/prolongation, less than 5 minutes.Pcs with same size insert was implanted.The device is available for return.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The black foreign matter within sterile packaging reported may have been due to either variance in improper maintenance of ultrasonic/alcohol black polypropylene drying mats, lack of operator awareness during visual inspection, inconsistency in red zone disinfection frequency, and/or inadequately defined interim product storage/cleaning maintenance for blue and red zone packaging areas compromising product sterility of pouch sealed product.Additionally, a lack of routine training decreased awareness around contamination complaints historically investigated.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Upon reassessment of the reported event, it was determined that the event did not involve a death or serious injury nor would be likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if the reported malfunction were to recur.As a result, this complaint event is no longer considered reportable by exactech and this report may be disregarded.
