The customer reported the tip of the catheter was torn off when the catheter was removed from the patient.They stated that upon insertion there was more resistance than normal but did not check the catheter tip.They performed an mri and cat scan to ensure that the catheter was no longer in the patient.Additional information provided by the initial reporter stated that the catheter was not tested prior to use.The catheter was inserted and removed on the same day.At the end of the case, anesthesia reported fairly minimal urine output seen in the foley.Drapes down, rn reported th at the catheter was still secured to the right thigh however upon pulling the catheter portion, it appeared to pull away easily and revealed a foley catheter tip that appeared with a tear/missing pattern at the tip.Ct scan post-op was completed and read negative.Cystoscope was performed and the missing tip was not located.The tip was not found after a thorough search.No further intervention was scheduled or required.

Manufacturer Narrative

The device history record (dhr) was reviewed, and no abnormal process conditions were present during the manufacturing of the product that could have led to the issue described.The dhr review showed that all acceptance criteria inspections per established sampling levels were within acceptable limits during the production process.The physical sample was not returned for evaluation however six digital images were provided for review and were visually analyzed.The reported issue was observed; the catheter does not have the tip part.An investigation was requested to the supplier of the affected component as our assembly process only consists in a pick and place operation.Per the supplier, the reported batch was produced in accordance with the procedure and specification.No non-conformities were reported during the production.The batch passed 100% tip inspection, 100% inspection for proper balloon inflation and additional 100% visual inspection after packaging.No rejects for similar failures were reported.The supplier¿s production controls contain at least three points which would discover and reject catheters without a tip.Therefore they concluded that it is highly unlikely that such part would pass all controls and be shipped from their production facility.The root cause was undetermined.At this time, no corrective actions will be required as the reported issue could not be confirmed as manufacturing related.Functional testing and visual inspections are being performed according to our current quality standards and inspection procedures.This complaint will be used for tracking and trending purposes.
