The reported event was confirmed ¿ manufacturing related.Based on evaluation, only 1 loose package of catheter was returned from the dispenser box.In process review noted that incorrect quantity package in a box could possibly occurred due to operators error.A potential root cause for this failure mode could be incorrect quantity packed due to operator's handling method".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: warnings: 1.Method for use (1)do not inflate the balloon in the urethra.[the urethra may be injured.] (2)do not pull the catheter hard.[the bladder/urethra may be injured.] 2.Applicable patients (1)patients with delirium who might pull out catheter [when patient tugs at catheter unconsciously, the bladder and urethra may be damaged.] [contraindications] 1.Method for use: (1)do not reuse.(2)do not resterilize.(3)be careful that the catheter is not exposed to ointments, contrast medium or oil-based lubricants (including vegetable oils such as olive oil, mineral oils such as white petrolatum and animal oils).[they may damage the device and may burst balloon.] (4)do not hold the device with forceps, etc.Avoid contact with any blades or sharp-edged instruments.[catheter damage may cause balloon rupture and accidental balloon removal or failure to deflate or remove the balloon.] 2.Applicable patients (1)patients who are or have been allergic to natural rubberlatex (2)patients with known allergy to silver-containing catheter [shape, configuration and principles] bardex®silver lubricath®foleycatheter is a balloon catheter.Some may include a syringe prefilled with sterile water and a water-soluble lubricant as an accessory. balloon catheter: natural rubber latex, polyurethane, silver this product is made with bacti-guard®silver alloy coating. available in sizes 12 to26every 2fr 1.Ballooncatheter 2.Accessories syringe prefilled with sterile water water-soluble lubricant (neither of them maybe included in some product variations.) [intended use & effect-efficacy] this device is an indwelling catheter in thebladder for urinary drainage.[directions for use] 1.Method of use the device is intended for single use only and is not reusable.(1)cleanse the area around the external urethral meatus with the cotton balls immersed in the antiseptics.(2)lubricate the distal end of the catheter with water-soluble lubricant.(3)insert catheter into the urethral meatus and advance it until the balloon enters the bladder and urine flows out through the catheter.Using a needle-less syringe, infuse the specified volumeof sterile water into the inflation lumen to inflate the balloon.(4)pull catheter to seat the balloon at the level of the bladder neck and secure placement.(5)to deflate balloon and remove catheter, inserta luertip(needleless) syringe in the inflation valve to allow the water to drain spontaneously.After balloon deflation, withdraw the catheter while confirming that no resistance is encountered.2.Precautions for use (1)when resistance is encountered in inserting catheter, stop the procedure andremove the catheter.(2)when deflating balloon, do not aspirate with a syringeby hands.[the inflation lumen for balloon deflation may be occluded by negative pressure, and as a result the cathetercannot be removed.] (3)when inserting catheter with astylet, confirm that the stylet has reached the tip of the catheter, and make sure to keep the stylet in place inside the catheter during insertion.(4)no substance except sterile water should be used to inflate the balloon.[if contrast medium is used,balloon may burst.If normal saline is used, crystallized salt may occlude the inflation lumen to prevent deflation of the balloon.If air is used, air may escape to cause inadvertent deflation of the balloon so that the catheter may come out prematurely.] (5)do not wipe catheter surface with organic solvents such as alcohol.(6)do not aspirate urine through drainage funnel wall.(7)since movement of the body, etc.May twist or bend catheter to cause occlusion, care should be taken to fix the catheter securely.(8)when urinary flow cannot be noted, confirm that the catheter is neither occluded nor broken.[precautions] 1.Precautions for use (exercise caution when using the device in the following patients) (1)exercise caution when using the device in patients with high urinary calcium levels as encrustation on the balloon surface, catheter occlusion or damage may occur.2.Important precautions (1)when catheter is inadvertently removed, inspect the balloon and shaft of catheter for rupture, defect, etc.Before inserting a new catheter.(2)when any part oftheballoon and/or the catheteris missing, consider removing them using a cystoscope.(3)when it is difficult to remove catheter by deflating the balloon, take appropriate measures accordingto the section ¿troubleshooting¿. when it is difficult to remove catheter by deflating the balloon (expressed as ¿removal-difficult case¿ hereinafter), take appropriate measures according to the following procedures.The following two methods are available for removal-difficult cases.A.Non-rupture method (sterile water is withdrawn without bursting the balloon.) b.Balloon-rupture method with balloon-rupture method, fragments of the ruptured balloon mayremain in the bladder.Therefore, try non-rupture method first.A.Non-rupture method 1)attach luer tip syringe to the inflationvalve.Inject an additional amount of sterile water into the inflation lumen and pump the plunger.2)if situationwouldn't be improved with 1), sever the inflation funnel of valve.(fig.1) 3)if situation wouldn¿t be improved with 2), sever the catheter shaft while holding it with forceps so that the distal segment may not be drawn into the urethra.(fig.2) 4)if situation wouldn't be improved with3), insert a needle into the inflation lumen and pump the plunger.(fig.3) 5)if situation wouldn't be improved with 4), insert a fine steel wire through the inflation lumen of catheter.(fig.4) b.Balloon-rupture method 1)inject 100-200ml/cc of saline solution warmed to body temperature into the bladder through the drainage lumen, and then inject a large amount of water or 10-15 ml/cc of mineral oil into the balloon through the inflation lumen with a needle to induce rupture.After rupture of the balloon, irrigate the bladder.(fig.5) 2)if situation wouldn't be improved with 1), attempt following procedures.A)under the radioscopic observation, infuse a contrast medium into the bladder, and burst the balloon by suprapubic puncture of the bladder.(fig.6) b)in male patients, burst the balloon by puncture with a needle from the perineal (or suprapubic) region or through the rectumunder ultrasonographic guidance.(fig.7) c)in female patients, burst the balloon by insertion of a needle along the urethra.(fig.8) 3.Malfunction and adverse events (1) malfunction -catheter kinking, damage, rupture -difficulty or failure to remove the device -occlusion of catheter inner lumens -encrustation -accidental removal of the device due to leakage of sterile water or balloon rupture -device damage due to inappropriate use (2) adverse events -urinary-tract infection -hemorrhage, hematuria -allergy reaction to the device -calculus formation -edema -pain -discomfort -injury of bladder or urethral -urethritis, urinary incontinence -retained balloon fragments [storage method and expiration date] 1.Storage store in a dry, cool place away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.2.Expiration date indicated on the direct package and the outer box.Correction- d h11: section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.H3 other text : the actual/suspected device was inspected.
