The patient was in the room and intubated, when a scrub tech noticed a hair on a lap sponge from the custom pack prior to incision.The entire room, including instruments was broken down.A second custom pack was opened and a gown was found to have a bug on it prior to touching any instruments.Only the pack was replaced a second time.The contaminated packs were not saved by staff due to time constraints of having multiple set ups after the patient was already intubated.Per site reporter: the manufacturer's field representative was notified, and has reported this to medline's quality team.
