  • Cause
    There have been reports that the cotton tip of the device may disengage due to insufficient adhesive application during the manufacturing process. the use of products with this issue may increase the potential for the tip to disengage, resulting in possible extension of operating room time or the need for unintended radiation exposure via x-ray for detection of the foreign body. four injuries have been observed in the field in which the cotton tip disengaged into the patient requiring unanticipated use of x-ray to locate the missing cotton (and in one case the tip was not retrieved subsequent to x-ray).
