It was reported that the patient had pain and foley catheter with a 5cc balloon leaked from the site (suprapubic catheter).So the patient decided to fill up the foley balloon outside the body and stated that the balloon was asymmetrical.No medical intervention reported.Per mss response, the foley balloon was only filled with 5cc of sterile water instead of 10cc.So the patient was informed of the correct amount and how not filling to the amount might lead to an asymmetrical balloon.Per follow up on 09dec2020, the customer noted that the catheters were being inflated with the full 10cc and not 5cc as initially stated.Also, the catheter was not drained while in place which caused leakage , so the customer removed the catheter and inflated.Upon inflation, the patient noticed that the balloon was inflating asymmetrically.
