The reported event was unconfirmed as the problem could not be reproduced.The sample was evaluated and no pinch or blockage was observed.The catheter balloon was inflated with 10 ml of water using normal fill technique and the balloon was able to inflate in 11 seconds.The catheter was dissected and did not found anything to contribute to the reported problem.The balloon was deflated and reinflated again with quick fill technique and the balloon was deflated without any difficulty.The deflated balloon did not found anything to contribute to the reported problem.The device did not fail to meet the relevant specifications.A potential root cause for this failure mode could be manufacturing related due to operator error or mechanical error or thin rubberized layer or collapse lumen.However this could not be confirmed.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: "to deflate catheter balloon: gently insert a luer slip syringe in the catheter valve.Never use more force than is required to make the syringe stick in the valve.Allow the pressure within the balloon to force the plunger back and fill the syringe with water.If you notice slow or no deflation, reseat the syringe gently.Use only gentle aspiration to encourage deflation if needed.Vigorous aspiration may collapse the inflation lumen, preventing balloon deflation.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.Should balloon rupture occur, care should be taken to assure that all recommended inflation capacities 3cc balloon: use 5 cc sterile water 5cc balloon: use 10 cc sterile water 30cc balloon: use 35 cc sterile water warning: after use, this product may be a potential biohazard.Handle and dispose of in accordance with applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations.Catheters should be replaced in accordance with the cdc guideline, guideline for prevention of catheter associated urinary tract infection.At the onset or first signs of a urinary tract infection, catheter encrustation, or any other catheter related adverse effect, the catheter should be replaced.Do not exceed recommended capacities.Sterile: unless package is opened or damaged.Do not use if package is opened or damaged.Single use only.Do not reuse.Do not resterilize.For urological use only.Valve type: use luer slip syringe.Do not use needle.Caution: do not aspirate urine through drainage funnel wall.Storage: store catheters at room temperature away from direct exposure to light, preferably in the original box.Visually inspect the product for any imperfections or surface deterioration prior to use.Warning: on catheter, do not use ointments or lubricants having petrolatum base.They will damage latex and may cause the balloon to burst.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.H3 other text : the actual/suspected device was inspected.
