Manufacturer Narrative
The reported event was inconclusive because no sample was returned.It was unknown whether the device had met relevant specifications.The product was used for urological care.It was unknown whether the product had caused the reported failure.A potential root cause for this failure mode could be due blocked drainage lumen/drainage eye occlusion.The dhr review could not be performed without a lot number.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 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) this device contains 10% povidone-iodine.For patients with past history of allergic hypersensitivity to povidone-iodine or iodine, consider using alternative disinfectants.(4) 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.] (5) 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 coated catheter [shape, configuration and principles] bard®i.C.Silver foley tray b consists of a balloon catheter, urine-collecting bag for closed drainage system, syringe prefilled with sterile water, water-soluble lubricant, antiseptic solution, tweezers, waterproof sheet, gauze pads, cotton balls, vinyl glovesand statlock foley.There are several types of closed drainage bags.The bagand statlock foleyincluded in the tray will depend on the product. balloon catheter: natural rubber latex;

1)remove the outlet tube from the housing of the urine drainage bag.2)lift the green lever to open with holding the outlet tube.Be careful not to pull the outlet tube when lifting the green lever.3)when disposal of urine is completed, close the green lever and put the outlet tube into the housing.(11)when using statlock foley, observe the following; 1) do not use the statlock device where loss of adherence couldoccur, such as with a confused patient, unattended access device, diaphoretic or nonadherent skin.2) minimize catheter manipulation during statlock stabilization device application and removal.3) do not use thestatlock device for patients showing allergic reaction to tape or adhesive.4) conduct skin assessment prior to application and repeat daily per facility protocol.5) the statlock device should be assessed daily and changed when clinically, indicated, at least every seven days.6) after placing the statlock device, allow to dry completely (10-15 seconds) due to alcohol included in skin protectant.7) use alcohol pads when removal.Do not pull or force pad to remove.[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 andshaft 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 bydeflating the balloon, take appropriate measures according to the section ¿troubleshooting¿.6 when it is difficult to remove catheter by deflating the balloon (expressed as ¿removal-difficult case¿ hereinafter), take appropriate measuresaccording 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.10) fig.10 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.11) fig.11 4)if situation wouldn't be improved with3), insert a needle into the inflation lumen and pump the plunger.(fig.12) fig.12 5)if situation wouldn't be improved with 4), insert a fine steel wire through the inflation lumen of catheter.(fig.13) fig.137 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.14) mineral oil fig.14 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.15) fig.15 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.16) fig.16 c)in female patients, burst the balloon by insertion of a needle along the urethra.(fig.17) fig.17 3.Malfunction and adverse events8 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" 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 device was not returned.
 
Event Description
It was reported that when removing the fixed water during removal of foley catheter, it was more difficult to remove than usual and it took about 15 minutes to remove the water.They did manual suction to remove the water by using other company's syringe.The lot number was unknown.Per additional information via email from ibc on 12mar2024, it was stated that there was no harm to the patient.Per additional information on 29mar2024, it was stated there was blockage on (b)(6) 2024 , (b)(6) 2024 and was temporarily replaced.Due to high risk of obstruction, bladder irrigation was increased from 3 times per week to 4 times per week and the progress was monitored.On (b)(6) 16:00, there was about 500g of urine leaking in the diaper.There was also slight amount of urine leaking into the catheter.Although the bladder was washed, there was strong resistance and saline could not be injected.At 4:30pm asked the doctor on duty to perform catheter exchange.When they replaced it, there was a lot of resistance when pulling the fixed water from the catheter and they could not pull it smoothly.About 8ml of fixed water was collected while milking for about 15 minutes and the catheter was removed.Per additional information via email from ibc on 29mar2024, saline could not be injected during irrigation or balloon inflation was unknown.
