Manufacturer Narrative

The reported event was confirmed cause unknown.Visual evaluation of the returned photo sample noted one opened (with original packaging), used silicone foley catheter.Visual inspection of the photo sample noted that the catheter was broken from the drainage funnel and the funnel was attached to the sample port connector.This does not meet specification which states "no holes, rips, or cracks in components are allowed".A potential root cause for this failure mode could be ¿silicone too weak to withstand normal forces applied during use¿.A review of the device history record did not show any problems or conditions that would have contributed to the reported issue."the instructions for use were found adequate and state the following" instructions for use the clinical benefits of all-silicone foley catheters are that they aid in clinical management by allowing for continuous drainage and measurement of urine.For lubrisil¿ hydrogel coated all-silicone foley catheters, the hydrogel coating is designed to reduce friction in catheter insertion.Foley catheters can be used in patients of all ages.Up to 10 ch/fr is generally considered pediatric sizing; however, the appropriate size should be determined by the healthcare professional.Indications for use: all-silicone foley catheters are indicated for use in the drainage and/or collection and/or measurement of urine.Generally, drainage is accomplished by inserting the catheter through the urethra and into the bladder.However, drainage is sometimes accomplished by suprapubic or other placement of the catheter such as nephrostomy tract.Intended user: this product is intended to be used by qualified healthcare professionals.Intended use: for urological use only.Contraindication: no known contraindications.Warnings: on catheter, do not use ointments or lubricants having a petroleum base.They will damage catheter and may cause balloon to burst.After use, this product may be a potential biohazard.Handle and dispose of in accordance with accepted medical practice and applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations.This is a single use device.Do not resterilize any portion of this device.Reuse and/or repackaging may create a risk of patient or user infection, compromise the structural integrity and/or essential material and design characteristics of the device, which may lead to device failure, and/or lead to injury, illness, or death of the patient.Users and/or patients within the european union, should report any serious incident that has occurred in relation to the device to the manufacturer and the competent authority of the member state in which the user and/or patient is established.Users outside of the european union should report any serious incident that has occurred in relation to the device to the manufacturer and the regulatory authority of the country in which the user and/or patient is established.Precautions:: do not use device if package is opened or damaged.Do not aspirate urine through drainage funnel wall.Should balloon rupture occur, care should be taken to assure that all balloon fragments have been removed from the patient.Instructions for use: follow your facility protocol for all processes related to catheterisation, re-catheterisation, stabilization and urine collection.Follow aseptic procedures outlined by your local hospital or healthcare facility.Thoroughly wash hands, wear sterile gloves, and use aseptic technique whenever handling the catheter or catheter components during insertion.Visually inspect the product for any imperfections or surface deterioration prior to use.If package is opened or if any imperfection or surface deterioration is observed, do not use.Insertion: 1.Wash hands.2.Use aseptic technique to prepare the patient for catheter insertion.3.Use aseptic technique to remove the catheter from wrap package.Connect catheter to urine collection container as needed.4.Lubricate the catheter.If hospital policy permits, it is possible to inject lubricant into the urethra.5.Catheterize the patient using dominant hand.6.When catheter tip has entered bladder, urine will flow through the catheter.A.For female anatomy, insert catheter approximately 5 cm (2 inches) more.B.For male anatomy, insert catheter all the way to bifurcation.7.Inflate the balloon with pre-filled water syringe if included.A.If pre-filled syringe is not included, then use a slip tip/luer lock syringe to fill catheter balloon with sterile water.Do not use needle.B.Do not exceed recommended capacities as stated on the applicable labeling.C.The chart below provides additional information on inflation volume and balloon size.D.Inflation volume (a) incorporates the volume required to pass through lumen and fully inflate the specific balloon size (b).8.Gently pull the catheter until the catheter balloon is snug against the bladder neck.Removal: 1.Wash hands.2.Gently insert a luer slip tip syringe into the catheter valve.A.Never use more force than is required to make the syringe ¿stick¿ in the valve.3.Allow the pressure within the balloon to force the plunger back and fill the syringe.A.If you notice slow or no deflation, re-seat the syringe gently.4.Use only gentle aspiration to encourage deflation, if needed.Vigorous aspiration may collapse the inflation lumen, preventing balloon deflation.5.If balloon does not deflate, contact trained professional for assistance, as directed by hospital protocol.6.After balloon is fully deflated, remove catheter, and dispose of in accordance with hospital policy.H11: section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.
