The customer reported that the barrier/film side of the drape is significantly stickier than normal production and that, when draping in the sterile field, it prevents sterile practice when unfolding the drape and has caused some instances of compromising sterility, having to break down and reset the field.The customer was contacted and requested to provide additional information; the photos were reviewed and showed the outside label and the drape; the sample was reviewed and met specifications but was difficult to open and sticking together; and the contract manufacturer reviewed records, manufacturing process, and retained samples and found no abnormalities or defects in their production.Based on the results of the investigation, the complaint issue was confirmed, but the root cause could not be determined.There was no reported death or serious injury associated with this event, no objectionable trend was identified, and no further investigation into the cause and complaint was warranted.There were no reports of death, serious injury, medical intervention, or follow up care.It has been determined that the reported event could cause or contribute to serious injury if it were to occur again.In an abundance of caution, this is a reportable event.If additional information becomes available this report will be reopened and reevaluated.This medical device report (mdr) is being submitted as part of retrospective review activities, which include review of historical data in accordance with regulations at 21 cfr part 803.The information included in this mdr reflects the information reasonably known to the manufacturer at the time of this retrospective review and submission.
