Manufacturer Narrative

The reported event was inconclusive because no sample was returned.It is unknown whether the device had met relevant specifications.It was unknown whether the product had caused the reported failure.The potential root cause for this failure could be user related (example: over aspirated, incorrect syringe/collapse lumen/sac close eye/valve damage).The device was not returned for evaluation.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: "caution: this product contains natural rubber latex which may cause allergic reactions.Sterile unless package is opened or damaged.Warning: on catheter, do not use ointments or lubricants having a petrolatum base.They will damage latex and may cause balloon to burst.Storage: store catheters at room temperature away from direct exposure to light, preferably in the original box.Note: after use, this product may be a potential biohazard.Handle and dispose of in accordance with accepted medical practice and applicable laws and regulations.Caution: federal (u.S.A.) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.Single patient use only.Do not reuse.Do not resterilize.For urological use only.Valve type: use luer syringe.Do not use needle.Visually inspect the product for any imperfections or surface deterioration prior to use.Do not use if package is opened or damaged.Recommended inflation capacities; 5cc balloon: use 10cc sterile water; 30cc balloon: use 35cc sterile water.Do not exceed recommended capacities.To deflate catheter balloon: gently insert a syringe in the catheter valve.Never use more force than is required to make the syringe ¿stick¿ in the valve.If you notice slow or no deflation, re-seat the syringe gently.Use only gentle aspiration to encourage deflation if needed.Vigorous aspiration may collapse the inflation lumen, preventing balloon deflation.If permitted by hospital protocol, the valve arm may be severed.If this fails, contact an adequately trained professional for assistance, as directed by hospital protocol.Should balloon rupture occur, care should be taken to assure that all balloon fragments have been removed from the patient." 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.
