The reported event was inconclusive because no sample was returned.A potential root cause for this failure could be "usage of incorrect solvent applicator fixture".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 damaged or if any imperfection or surface deterioration is observed, do not use.Remove protective cap from drainage tube catheter adapter and connect drainage tube to catheter.Unsnap hook.Position hanger on bedside rail near the foot of the bed using string or hook.Use sheeting clip to secure drainage tube to sheet.Important: hang drainage tube in a straight fashion from bedside to drainage bag.To empty bag: open- with thumb on top of device and finger under green lever,lift and rotate counterclockwise.Close- with thumb on green lever and finger on lever support bar, rotate lever clockwise.Periodic observations of this system should be made to ensure that urine is flowing freely.If a standing column of urine is observed, check for 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.After use, this product may be a potential biohazard.Handle and dispose of in accordance with accepted medical practice and applicable local, state and federal law and regulations.Directions for using bard ez-lok® sampling port: bard ez-lok® sampling port accepts a luer-lock or slip tip syringe.Kink drainage tubing a minimum of 3 inches below the sampling port until urine is visible under the access site.Swab surface of site with antiseptic wipe.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.Aspirate desired volume of urine.Unkink tubing and send specimen to laboratory." 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.
