Event or Problem Description
It was reported that the customer mentioned about bacteriuria, pain and leakage when they were asked of the complications while using the temperature sensing foley catheter.Medical intervention was unknown.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The investigation is still in progress.Once the investigation is complete a supplemental report will be filed.The device was not returned.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The reported event was inconclusive because no sample was returned.It was unknown whether the device had met relevant specifications.The product was used for treatment purposes.It was unknown whether the product had caused the reported failure.A potential root cause for this failure could be ¿materials of construction are not biocompatible ¿.The lot number was unknown; therefore, the device history record could not be reviewed.The instructions for use were found adequate and state the following: "1.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.2.Using proper aseptic methods, remove catheter from package.3.Prepare patient per hospital/nursing recommended procedure.4.Proceed with catheterization using standard techniques.5.Inflate the 5cc balloon with a maximum of 10cc sterile water by inserting tip of water-filled luer-tip syringe gently into valve.Do not use a needle.6.Connect catheter to collection container.Connect temperature plug to appropriate patient monitor.7.To deflate the 5cc balloon, gently reinsert the luer tip syringe into the valve and aspirate.8.When temperature monitoring is no longer required, sever cord at valve arm with scissors and cover valve arm containing severed cord with adhesive tape.Caution: this product contains natural rubber latex which may cause allergic reactions.Caution: to deflate catheter balloon: gently insert a luer slip tip syringe in the catheter valve.Never use more force than is required to make the syringe ¿stick¿ in the valve.Allow the pressure in the balloon to force the plunger back and fill the syringe with water.If you notice slow or no deflation, re-seat 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 balloon fragments have been removed from the patient.Note: compatible with appropriate 400 series temperature monitors.Interchangeability ±0.2°c at 37°c.Caution: as with all temperature probes, in the presence of rf energy sources, local heating, temperature errors, and probe damage may occur.In medical use, unplug the temperature sensing catheter at the temperature monitor before activating electrosurgical or other types of direct coupled rf energy sources.Do not stretch catheter.This will cause repositioning of probe.Do not use stylet.This will cause stretching of catheter.On catheter, do not use ointments or lubricants having a petrolatum base.They will damage latex and cause balloon to burst.Warning: after use, this product may be a potential biohazard.Handle and dispose of in accordance with accepted medical practice and applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations.For urological use only.Caution: federal (u.S.A.) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.Reuse precaution: this is single use device.Do not re-sterilize any portion of this device.Reuse and/or repackaging may create a risk of patient or user infection, compromise the structural integrity and/or essential material and design characteristics of the device, which may lead to device failure, and/or lead to injury, illness or death of the patient.Additional safety instructions include the following: 1.The foley catheter with temperature sensor should not be connected to the temperature monitoring equipment during the mri procedure.2.If the foley catheter with temperature sensor has a removable catheter connector cable, it should be disconnected prior to the mri procedure.3.Remove all electrically conductive material from the bore of the mr system that is not required for the procedure (i.E., unused surface coils, cables, etc.).4.Keep electrically conductive material that must remain in the bore of the mr system from directly contacting the patient by placing thermal and/or electrical insulation (including air) between the conductive material and the patient.5.Position the foley catheter with a temperature sensor in a straight configuration down the center of the patient table to prevent cross points and conductive coils or loops.6.The wire and connector of the foley catheter with temperature sensor should not be in contact with the patient during the mri procedure.Position the device, accordingly.7.Mr imaging should be performed using an mr system with static magnetic strength of 1.5-tesla or 3-tesla, only.8.At 1.5-tesla, the mr system whole body averaged sar should not exceed 3.5- w/kg for 15-min.Of scanning.9.At 3-tesla, the mr system reported whole body averaged sar should not exceed 3-w/kg for 15-min of scanning." h11: section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all 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.
