    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    THE MEDICAL DEVICE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS REPORT IS A NON-STERILE, RAYON-FIBER TIPPED APPLICATOR (OB/GYN) CONSISTING OF A PLASTIC STICK AND THE RAYON-FIBER BUD. IT WAS COMMUNICATED THAT THE FIBER TIP KEEPS COMING OFF IN THE PATIENT WHILE DOCTORS ARE SWABBING INSIDE THE PATIENT'S VAGINA. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT IN (B)(6) 2011 THEY REDUCED THE CONCENTRATION OF GLUE WHICH WAS USED TO SECURE THE RAYON TIP TO THE PLASTIC SHAFT. THE LOW CONCENTRATION OF GLUE USED TO SECURE THE RAYON TIP TO THE PLASTIC SHAFT WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE MOST PROBABLE ROOT CAUSE OF THE FIBER TIP COMING OFF.
