The customer reported an adhesive issue dressing, stating that only one of the tegaderms actually separated properly from the paper backing and that when separation failed, they had to go through kit after kit, trying to get one that could be used.Finished good production records and finished good pack build were reviewed, and a sample was received; medline received 3 ea unopened kits, tested 3 ea of the dressings, and 2 ea the paper frame border separated from the dressing itself so they were no longer able to be used, while the 3rd one the paper frame did not detach.Medline confirmed the vendor and the cause of this issue.The issue derives from the raw materials process when the force between frame liner and the film is too weak, and medline is working with the component manufacturing facility for further evaluation and corrective actions.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.
