Investigation summary: an internal complaint (b)(4) was received for a c-section pack (part 89-9205, lot 49830232) that contained a lap sponge that was discovered to contain a hair.This was noticed after the patient had already received her spinal for the procedure.The room had to be torn down and reset, resulting in a delay in the procedure.The defective sample was not available for return.The work order was reviewed for possible discrepancies that may have contributed to the reported event.No discrepancies were identified.The bill of materials was reviewed and the affected component was identified as raw material 832894, which is supplied to deroyal by covidien.The raw material sponges come to deroyal in a bundled pack of 5.These packs are not opened during the kit assembly process.Due to the reported location of the hair and the fact that the sponge packs are not unbundled by deroyal, it was determined that the hair contamination source was not the kit assembly process.Due to the nature of the reported incident, a supplier corrective action request was issued to covidien.As of the date of this report, a response has not been received.The investigation is ongoing at this time.If and when new information is received, this report will be updated.
