An evaluation was performed by smith and nephew and could not confirm the customer complaint for when the staff applied the blue foam pad to the patient, it broke off.A visual inspection was performed and showed the blue foam is not broken off, however a section on the blue foam is separated internally in several areas which caused the blue foam to stretch further than normal.A root cause could not be determine.
