The device was not returned for evaluation.The lot number is unknown; therefore, the device history record could not be reviewed.The instructions for use state the following: "directions for use proper techniques for urinary catheter insertion ¿ perform hand hygiene immediately before and after insertion ¿ insert urinary catheters using aseptic technique and sterile equipment ¿ use the smallest foley catheter possible, consistent with good drainage ¿ document the indications for catheter insertion, date and time of catheter insertion, individual who inserted catheter, and date and time of catheter removal in patient record proper techniques for urinary catheter maintenance ¿ secure the foley catheter, use the statlock® foley stabilization device if provided ¿ maintain a closed drainage system by utilizing pre-connected, sealed catheter-tubing junctions ¿ maintain unobstructed urine flow and keep the catheter and collection tube free from kinking ¿ keep the collection bag below the level of the bladder or hips at all times ¿ empty the collection bag regularly (e.G., prior to transport) using a separate, clean collection container for each patient ¿ routine hygiene (e.G., cleansing of the meatal surface during daily bathing or showering) is appropriate ¿ leave foley catheter in place only as long as needed 1.Wash hands and don clean gloves 2.Explain procedure to patient and open peri-care kit 3.Use the provided packet of wipes to cleanse patient¿s periurethral area 4.Remove gloves and perform hand hygiene with provided alcohol hand sanitizer gel 5.Using proper aseptic technique open csr wrap 6.Don sterile gloves 7.Place underpad beneath patient, plastic/¿shiny¿ side down note: use caution to maintain aseptic technique 8.Position fenestrated drape on patient 9.Saturate 3 foam swab sticks in povidone iodine 10.Attach the water filled syringe to the inflation port note: it is not necessary to pre-test the foley catheter balloon 11.Remove foley catheter from wrap and lubricate catheter 12.Prepare patient with 3 foam swab sticks saturated in povidone iodine.Use the nondominant hand for the genitalia and the dominant hand for the swabs note: use each swab stick for one swipe only female patient: with a downward stroke cleanse the right labia minora and discard the swab.Do the same for the left labia minora.With the last swabstick cleanse the middle area between the labia minora male patient: cleanse the penis in a circular motion starting at the urethral meatus and working outward 13.Proceed with catheterization in usual manner using the dominant hand a.When catheter tip has entered bladder, urine will be visible in the drainage tube b.Insert catheter two more inches and inflate catheter balloon 14.Inflate catheter balloon using entire 10cc of sterile water provided in the prefilled syringe note: use of less than 10cc can result in asymmetrically inflated balloon 15.Once inflated, gently pull catheter until the inflated balloon is snug against the bladder neck 16.Secure the foley catheter to the patient.Use the statlock® foley stabilization device if provided (see statlock® foley stabilization device ifu) note: please make sure patient is appropriate for use of statlock® stabilization device 17.Position hanger on bed rail at the foot of the bed note: exercise care to keep bag off the floor 18.Use green sheeting clip to secure drainage tube to the sheet.Make sure tube is not kinked 19.Indicate time and date of catheter insertion on provided labels.Place designated labels on patient chart and drainage system 20.Document procedure according to hospital protocol foley catheter removal 1.To deflate catheter balloon: gently insert a luer lock or slip tip syringe in the catheter valve.Never use more force than is required to make the syringe ¿stick¿ in the valve 2.Allow the pressure within the balloon to force the plungerback and fill the syringe with water.If you notice slow or no deflation, re-seat the syringe gently 3.Use only gentle aspiration to encourage deflation if needed.Vigorous aspiration may collapse the inflation lumen, preventing balloon deflation 4.If the balloon will not deflate and if permitted by hospital protocol, the valve arm may be severed.If this fails, contact adequately trained professional for assistance, as directed by hospital protocol 5.Should balloon rupture occur, care should be taken to assure that all balloon fragments have been removed from the patient sterilized using ethylene oxide sterile unless package is opened or damaged, except for any individually packaged components within the tray which are not labeled as sterile.These components are not terminally sterilized.Caution: federal (u.S.A.) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.Single use only.Do not resterilize.For urological use only.Warning: on catheter, do not use ointments or lubricants having a petrolatum base.They will damage the catheter and may cause balloon to burst.Warning: after use, this product may be a potential biohazard.Handle and dispose of in accordance with accepted medical practices and applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations.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.Please consult product label and insert for any indications, contraindications, hazards, warnings, cautions and directions for use." the device was not returned.

Manufacturer Narrative

The reported issue was unconfirmed.The device was returned and visually inspected.Visual evaluation of the returned sample noted one opened (no original packaging present), used silicone catheter with a meter drainage bag present.Visual inspection of the catheter surface noted no obvious visible defects.Catheter was not adhered to the sample port present on the drain bag tubing, however the tamper evident seal was still in place on the sample port connector.Catheter balloon was inflated with 10ml of methylene blue solution (3 drops 1% aq methylene blue per 100ml of distilled water).Balloon concentricity was observed to be 60:40.No lumen to lumen leakage was observed upon balloon inflation.Balloon was allowed to rest for 60 minutes.No leaks were observed after this time period.The catheter was then flushed with methylene blue from the drainage funnel end to ensure no leaks were present in the drainage lumen.No leaks were observed along the catheter shaft.Catheter was fully deflated and the 10ml of solution with no cuffing or ridges were observed on the balloon surface.Tamper evident seal was removed from the sample port and the catheter was attached to the sample port.The fit appeared to be secure.The catheter was then flushed again with methylene blue from the drainage eyes to observe flow through the sample port.No leaks were observed at the junction.Catheter french size was confirmed to be 16fr.Active length of the catheter balloon was measured (0.7655") and found to be within specification (0.60" - 0.90").Drainage bag inlet tube dimensions were measured and found to be within specification.The device history record was reviewed and found nothing that could have caused or contributed to the reported event.The instructions for use were found adequate and state the following: ¿directions for use proper techniques for urinary catheter insertion ¿ perform hand hygiene immediately before and after insertion ¿ insert urinary
