A study site reported that a (b)(6) female primigravida underwent labor induction with a cervical ripening balloon (crb) and pitocin on (b)(6) 2014.Crb was inserted on (b)(6) 2014 at 12:38 (vaginal balloon 60 ml of saline, uterine balloon 30 ml of saline).Insertion of crb was considered difficult.Crb was removed on (b)(6) 2014 at 17:25 due to complication of balloon: "balloon causing pain/pressure".Received epidural anesthesia on (b)(6) 2014 beginning at 17:48.Spontaneous vaginal delivery on (b)(6) 2014 at 01:38.Intrapartum chorioamnionitis symptoms began on (b)(6) 2014 (maternal fever greater than 100.4 degrees f, sustained maternal tachycardia, fetal tachycardia, foul smelling amniotic fluid).The pt was treated with antibiotic therapy.This event was marked as "possibly" related to the crb and possibly related to the induction procedure.It was noted that the event did not lead to serious deterioration in health and the site responded that the device did not malfunction or deteriorate in characteristics or performance.The pt was discharged from hospital on 03/23/2014.
