The reported event was inconclusive because no sample was returned.It is unknown whether the device had met relevant specifications.The product was used for urological care.It was unknown whether the product had caused the reported failure.The potential root cause for this failure could be user related (example: salt accumulation)/block drainage lumen/no drainage eye).The device was not returned for evaluation.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 syringe in the catheter valve.Never use more force than is required to make the syringe "stick" in the valve.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 the tails, contact an adequately trained professional for assistance as detected by hospital protocol.Should balloon rupture occur, care should be taken to assure that all balloon fragments have been removed from the patient." the device was not returned.
