The account reported finding holes in breather pouches, and the complaint stated that packs had holes/tears in the packaging compromising the sterility of the pack and that the larger table drape had a hole in it.A sample of the pack was received for investigation, but the original case and the rest of the packs were not received; physical inspection of the received sample found that the edge of the pack appeared to have holes, finished good production records showed no line downs or non-conformance that might have had an impact, and the pack component locations likely did not contribute to the issue.The reported problem was confirmed on the received sample, but medline was unable to determine the original location where the damage occurred.Based on the complaint details, the pack was caught and snagged on an outside source at some point during production, transit, or storage, and the supplier 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.
