Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The reported event was confirmed.A photo sample of a red rubber foley catheter was returned.The portion of the shaft was observed to be inflated.The root cause for this failure mode could be due to ¿operator error or machine malfunction.¿ based on the event stated the device was not used and there does appear to be a relationship between the device and the reported event as the catheter photo showed that the shaft was inflated.The device history record was reviewed and found nothing that could have caused or contributed to the reported event.The labeling review was not completed as the device was not intended to balloon from the shaft and the user would not likely cause this issue.Corrections: a1, a2, a3, b6, b7, h6.H11:section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all of 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.
