Received 1 used urinary drainage bag with the foley catheter still attached.Visual inspection noted no obvious defects.The received sample was functionally tested by passing water through a 14fr.Catheter (part of the sample received)/ pvc inlet tube towards the interior of the drip chamber / drainage bag.No drainage problems were noted; the flow was continuous during the test on the sample received.The drainage test for catheters/drainage bags indicates that 250cc must be drained in 64 seconds maximum.The results were the following: time to drain 250cc: 75 sec.The sample received reached the intended drainage indicated in less than 87 seconds.The reported event is unconfirmed as the sample returned was found to be within specifications.The lot number is unknown therefore the device history record could not be reviewed.The instructions for use state the following: "maintain unobstructed urine flow and keep the catheter and collection tube free from kinking.Keep the collection bag below the level of the bladder or hips at all times.Empty the collection bag regularly (e.G.Prior to transport) using a separate, clean collection container for each patient."
