Manufacturer Narrative

Visual: received one (1) used all-silicone foley catheter without original packaging.Visual inspection noted no obvious observations.The catheter balloon was inflated with 10ml methylene blue solution (3 drops 1% aq methylene blue per 100ml distilled water) and the catheter rested with no leaks noted.The balloon passively deflated in under one (1) minute with no cuffing or leaks noted, returning 10ml of solution.This is within specification per inspection procedure which states, catheter leaks, valve leaks, balloon perforation, lumen to lumen, prematurely deflated and dislodged balloon are not allowed, and must inflate and deflate with the use of a syringe.A review of the device history record was not necessary due to the reported event being unconfirmed.As the reported event is unconfirmed a risk and labeling review is not required.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.
