It was initially reported that the foley catheter was found disconnected with the drainage bag tubing, with the yellow tamper seal still intact.It was added that the patient's foley catheter had to be replaced.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, no further patient, product, procedural or event details are available.Due to the reported incident and the required foley catheter exchange, this medwatch is being filed.The sample has been returned for evaluation.The reported issue of the catheter disconnecting from the drainage bag tubing was confirmed through visual inspection of the received sample.The suspected root cause is an assembly error in the kit packing process having not inserted the tubing adapter adequately into the funnel.Changes to the assembly instructions were implemented to address concerns of catheters disconnecting from drainage bag tubing at the yellow tamper seal.No additional information is available.If additional information becomes available, a supplemental medwatch will be filed.
