Investigation summary: an internal complaint ((b)(4)) was received for an open heart tray (part 89-8572, lot 50207448) that contained a contaminated drape.A bug was found on the velcro of the drape after the patient had been draped for the procedure.The defective sample was not returned for evaluation.The work order was reviewed for possible discrepancies that may have contributed to the reported event.No such discrepancies were identified.Quality records relative to pest control were reviewed for the three months prior to this work order to confirm the manufacturing facility was following pest control procedure.The affected drape was identified as raw material 5-15402, which is supplied to deroyal by halyard.This material comes to deroyal in bulk with 8 folded drapes per cardboard box.Deroyal manufacturing personnel do not unfold these drapes at any time during the assembly process; therefore, a bug located on the velcro would not be noticeable to employees.The 2017-2019 supplier corrective action request (scar) and supplier notification letter logs were reviewed for similar issues.No previous reports were identified; however, due to the severity of the reported issue, a scar was sent to halyard.As of the date of this report, a response has not been received.The investigation is ongoing at this time.When new and critical information is received, this report will be updated.
