The reported event was confirmed and the cause was unknown.A potential root cause for this failure mode could be ¿operator-components out of specification (cap or stopcock".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: "step 1: assembling/mounting the bard® intra-abdominal pressure monitoring device 1.Hang a bag of sterile saline on an iv pole.A pressure cuff is not required.2.Open the bard® intra-abdominal pressure monitoring device tray.3.Don gloves.4.Mount the statlock® foley stabilization device on the patient per the enclosed instructions.5.Open a pressure transducer kit (not included) in sterile fashion and place contents onto the open bard® intra-abdominal pressure monitoring device tray.Note: the bard® intra-abdominal pressure monitoring device adapts to the pressure transducer used in your icu.Many pressure transducer variations exist, all which are compatible with the bard® intra-abdominal pressure monitoring device.Although a flush device is not required, the bard® intra-abdominal pressure monitoring device can be used with one.Option 2 below is available because many flush devices are permanent or difficult to disconnect from the transducer.Option 1: remove all attachments from the transducer (flush device, drip chamber, truing stopcocks, etc.) until the transducer has only luer connections.Option 2: leave flush device and/or stopcock attached.Be sure the flush device is attached distally and capped at the end.6.Grasp the coiled tubing and remove entire assembly from the tray.7.Verify all tubing connections are secure.8.Remove the protective cap from the saline spike and insert the spike into the saline bag.9.Place the syringe on the bed or hang the syringe from the iv pole.10.Connect the transducer to the end of the tubing labeled ¿transducer¿ using the provided stopcock as needed depending on the transducer assembly available.11.Cap the opposite end of the transducer (figures 1 & 2) or flush device.12.Mount the drainage tubing on the clamp.13.Decide whether the pressure transducer will be mounted on the pole or the patient step 2: priming the bard® intra-abdominal pressure monitoring device priming of the transducer line 1.Remove the end cap from the distal end of the transducer.2.Open the transducer stopcock.3.Aspirate approximately 30 ml of saline into the syringe and compress the syringe.4.Observe fluid passing through the distal end of the transducer.Ensure no air bubbles remain in the tubing to the transducer.5.Close the distal transducer stopcock.6.Attach the pressure transducer to the patient or pole.7.Connect the pressure transducer cable to the pressure transducer.8.Connect the pressure transducer cable to the monitor.Priming of the valve port line 9.Disconnect and discard the yellow luer cap from the valve port.10.Aspirate approximately 10 ml of saline into the syringe and compress the syringe until fluid passes through the tubing to the valve port and there is no more fluid within the syringe.Ensure no bubbles remain in the tubing to the valve port.11.Prepare the connection of the catheter sampling port with antiseptic solution 12.Connect the valve port on the iap device to the sampling port on the catheter.Step 3: measuring bladder pressure with the bard® intra-abdominal pressure monitoring device zeroing the device 1.Patient must be supine (flat on back).2.Hold the clamp and rotate the handle clockwise 90 degrees from the ¿drain¿ position to the ¿iap¿ position.Caution: be sure to rotate the clamp the complete 90 degrees.The clamp will stop rotating when it is in the correct position.Verify the drain tube is completely kinked by the clamp.3.Zero the transducer to atmosphere at the level of the pubic symphysis.After zeroing the transducer, ensure the stopcock is open to the transducer.4.Hold the clamp and rotate the handle counterclockwise 90 degrees from the ¿iap¿ position to the ¿drain¿ position.Caution: be sure the clamp has been turned to the ¿drain¿ position to ensure proper urinary drainage.Obtaining an iap reading 5.Patient must be supine (flat on back).6.Hold the clamp and rotate the handle clockwise 90 degrees from the ¿drain¿ position to the ¿iap¿ position.Caution: be sure to rotate the clamp the complete 90 degrees.The clamp will stop rotating when it is in the correct position.Verify the drain tube is completely kinked by the clamp.7.Pick up the syringe and aspirate 25 ml of saline into the syringe.Compress the syringe plunger slowly over 20 to 30 seconds, gently infusing the fluid into the bladder.Infuse 25 ml of saline, which is enough to create a fluid column and to remove air from tubing.Larger instillation volumes (>50ml) may cause clinically relevant overestimation of iap.1 8.Place the syringe on the bed or hang the syringe from the iv pole.9.Allow the system to equilibrate and then note the pressure reading on the monitor at end expiration.Caution: this reading should not steadily decline.If you find the pressure reading drifts down, then the clamp is likely not rotated the full 90 degrees and fluid is leaking out of the system or you have a luer connector leak.Drain the system, check the luer connections and repeat the process, making sure the clamp is turned a full 90 degrees.10.Once a reading is completed, hold the clamp and rotate the handle counterclockwise 90 degrees from the ¿iap¿ position to the ¿drain¿ position.Caution: be sure the clamp has been turned to the ¿drain¿ position to ensure proper urinary drainage.When the bard® intra-abdominal pressure monitoring device clamp is in the ¿drain¿ position, there may be some pressure left in the system, which reads on the monitor, this is normal.Only after following the above procedure and with the clamp in the ¿iap¿ position should the monitor be read and interpreted.11.Record the volume of fluid infused in the fluid i&o¿s sheet.Step 4: obtaining a urine sample (optional) 1.Slide the bard® intra-abdominal pressure monitoring device clamp along the length of the tubing to just below the bead on the tubing.2.Prep the valve port¿s sampling port with antiseptic solution.3.Hold the bard® intra-abdominal pressure monitoring device clamp and rotate the handle clockwise 90 degrees from the ¿drain¿ position to the ¿iap¿ position.4.Attach a luer syringe or bd vacutainer to the sampling port luer lock and draw urine samples.5.Remove the luer syringe or bd vacutainer from the sampling port luer lock.6.Hold the bard® intra-abdominal pressure monitoring device clamp and rotate the handle counterclockwise 90 degrees from the ¿iap¿ position to the ¿drain¿ position.Caution: be sure the clamp has been turned to the ¿drain¿ position to ensure proper urinary drainage." h11: section a through f - the information provided by bard 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 bard.H3 other text : the actual/suspected device was inspected.
