The reported event was inconclusive.No sample was returned for evaluation.A potential root cause for this failure could be due to "incorrect assembly operation / components placement / accessories.(incorrect assembly)".The device history record was reviewed and found nothing that could have caused or contributed to the reported event.The instructions for use were found adequate and state the following: "directions for use: visually inspect the product for any imperfections or surface deterioration prior to use.If package is opened or if any imperfection or surface deterioration is observed, do not use.1.Open csr wrap to form sterile field and place under pad beneath patient, plastic side down.2.Put on cuffed gloves and position drape on patient.3.Pour cleansing solution onto three prep balls.4.Open catheter lubricating jelly.5.Remove top tray and open plastic pouch surrounding catheter.6.Lubricate catheter.7.Prepare patient with saturated prep balls.Dry patient with remaining 2 prep balls.8.Proceed with catheterization in usual manner.To inflate catheter, simply insert tip of water-filled syringe gently into valve (do not over penetrate) and depress plunger.Instill entire amount of sterile water.9.Position hanger on bedside rail near the foot of the bed and use sheeting clip to secure drainage tube to draw sheet.10.To empty bag: a.Remove outlet tube from housing; gently squeeze connector arms and pull tube from housing.B.Release clamp and empty bag.C.After emptying, reclamp outlet tube and slide connector into housing until connector arms engage.11.To deflate catheter balloon: gently insert a luer slip tip syringe in the catheter valve.Never use more force than is required to make the syringe "stick" in the valve.Allow the pressure within the balloon to force the plunger back and fill the syringe with water.If you notice slow or no deflation, re-seat the syringe gently.Allow the balloon to deflate slowly on its own.Do not aspirate or manually accelerate the deflation of the balloon.If permitted by hospital protocol, the valve arm may be severed.If this fails, contact adequately trained professional for assistance, as directed by hospital protocol.Should balloon rupture occur, care should be taken to assure that all balloon fragments have been removed from the patient.12.Periodic observations of this system should be made to ensure that urine is flowing freely.If a standing column of urine is observed, correct positioning of bag and then for a physical obstruction.If correct positioning or removal of physical obstruction does not allow free flow, the bag may have to be changed.Tamper-evident seal disconnect instructions: if necessary to disconnect catheter and drainage tube connector, flex catheter as illustrated, grasp tab and slowly pull along perforations until section is removed.Directions for using bard ez-lok® sampling port: bard ez-lok® sampling port accepts a luer-lock or slip tip syringe.1.Kink drainage tubing a minimum of 3 inches below the sampling port until urine is visible under the access site.2.Swab surface of site with antiseptic wipe.3.Using aseptic technique, position the syringe in the center of the sampling port.The syringe should be held perpendicular to the surface of the sampling port (at approximately 80-100 degree angle).Press the syringe firmly and twist gently to lock the syringe onto the sampling port.Note: improper penetration technique could cause formation of a drop of urine on the surface of the sampling port.Periodic observation of the sampling port is recommended.4.Aspirate desired volume of urine.5.Unkink tubing and send specimen to laboratory.".
