Manufacturer Narrative

According to the customer, on 01/24/2024 after the foley catheter was utilized for administration of "chemotherapy medications into the bladder" the "fluid in the balloon would not come out when a syringe was attached per standard practice" for the removal of the foley catheter.The customer reported they used "multiple syringes", had the patient "move positions", and cut the "side arm" but they continued to be unsuccessful with removing the water for ballon deflation.The customer reported the patient was seen by a physician who attempted to manipulate the catheter but was also unsuccessful in removing the catheter.The customer reported an "ultrasound" was taken to confirm the balloon was in the bladder.The customer reported they attempted to insert a "guidewire in the side port without success" due to the guidewire hitting "resistance".The customer reported the "blockage appears to be right at the y where the instillation port enters into the main catheter".The customer reported they "cut the catheter with scissors" after the multiple failed attempts to deflate the balloon and the balloon deflated.The customer reported when the balloon deflated it drained the bladder of active chemotherapy and the patient received "less than a therapeutic amount of time with the chemotherapy in his bladder".The patient reported the product was not saved due to "contamination with chemotherapy".No additional information is available at this time.It has been determined that the reported event could cause or contribute to serious injury if it were to occur again.In an abundance of caution, this medwatch is being filed.If any further relevant information is identified or obtained, a supplemental medwatch will be submitted.
