Manufacturer Narrative

The reported event was inconclusive because no sample was returned.A potential root cause for this failure could be ¿materials of construction are not biocompatible".The lot number was unknown; therefore, the device history record could not be reviewed.The instructions for use were found adequate and state the following: "to deflate catheter balloon: gently insert a luer slip tip syringe in the catheter valve.Never use more force than is required to make the syringe ¿stick¿ in the valve.Allow the pressure within the balloon to force the plunger back and fill the syringe with water.If you notice slow or no deflation, re-seat the syringe gently.Use only gentle aspiration to encourage deflation if needed.Vigorous aspiration may collapse the inflation lumen, preventing balloon deflation.If necessary, contact adequately trained professional for assistance, as directed by hospital protocol.Should balloon rupture occur, care should be taken to assure that all balloon fragments have been removed from the patient." the device was not returned.
