Qn#(b)(4).The batch card(s) for the complaint lot(s) was reviewed and all passed qa inspection.1 actual sample returned for investigation.Based on the complaint description, it was reported that bladder catheter did not drain urine.The urine run next to the catheter.Attempt to flush the catheter failed so the catheter was removed.After removal of the catheter, it was also very difficult to flush the catheter.This information might suggest that the catheter had blocked.Visual inspection of the catheter did not show any damages or abnormality found.The catheter was then inflated with 1.5 ml of water by using 10ml luer tip syringe and noticed that balloon could be inflated without any difficulties encountered.No silicone particle or other foreign particle seen within the balloon.Closer observation on the drainage eyes of the catheter did not show any abnormality.The drainage eyes were of normal size and shape.No silicone slugs or particle found that could occluded the drainage lumen observed.Leaving the inflated balloon for 30 minutes showed no sign of leak on any part of the catheters.Deflation of the balloons by connecting empty luer tip syringe barrel to the valve was smooth, spontaneous and complete.Balloon able to stay inflated and deflated smoothly.No blocked or leak was observed throughout the catheter.In current standard operating procedure, the product will undergo several stages of inspection.Block test was performed after funnel injection molding process as per spm-a51-002.Defective catheter will be detected and culled out during this process.Final 100% visual inspection was also conducted on the catheter as per spm-a52-004 and product will be released upon passing this inspection.Based on the analysis carried out, the catheter was fully functional upon completion of inflation and deflation tests.The balloon was able to inflate and deflate without any problem.There was no blockage on drainage line as water could pass through drainage lumen when water was introduced.Since there was no product dis-functionality issue observed based on reported failure, therefore this complaint could not be confirmed.
