This follow-up mdr is created to document the evaluation of the returned product: a used folysil catheter with a white valve printed "3 ml-04819790" was received for evaluation.At visual examination, it was noted that the balloon is deflated and hang loose.It was disinfected it and inflated with 3cc of air and no balloon anomaly was observed.It was deflated it and the balloon is ok.It is the remanence issue.The ifu sh2115 provides, in such situation, recommendations to follow during removal.The rmf identified the described risk which is considered acceptable with the recommendations within the ifu.Our clinical assessment estimates that the entrapped folysil catheter as a result of balloon cuffing has required a new surgical intervention under general anesthesia in one case which is a severity parameter rated level 3 according to our current risk management procedure (b)(4).Based on the above, this complaint is not confirmed as a product defect, the root cause is due to user.
