The account reported finding foreign matter in tubing, and photos depicted suction tubing with black stains or residue.A photo and a sample were received; two unopened packs were opened and both sets of suction tubing were reviewed, finished good production records were reviewed, and the finished good pack build was reviewed.The reported problem was confirmed: the samples were noted to contain black stains on certain sections, and the presence of dark staining on the coils of the tubing was confirmed.Based on the sample and pack build review, the black staining on the suction tubing was the result of ink transfer from the drape which the tubing is placed directly on top; the impacted tubing may be used as intended, and the quality team will monitor this issue for trending purposes.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.
