The reported event was confirmed ¿ cause unknown.The product had caused the reported failure.Water was introduced into inflation lumen and no blockage or obstruction was observed.Catheter can be inflated without difficulties.However, there are no water flow out from the catheter when drainage lumen was introduced with water.A potential root cause for this failure mode could be "incorrect air pressure setting or incorrect air blow direction setting causing blocked or occluded drainage lumen".A review of the device history record did not show any problems or conditions that would have contributed to the reported issue.Therefore, no additional action is required at this time.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: sterile unless package is opened or damaged.Warning: on catheter, do not use ointments or lubricants having a petrolatum base.They will damage latex and may cause balloon burst.Do not aspirate urine through the drainage funnel wall.Single patient use only.Do not reuse and resterilize.For urological use only.Use luer slip syringe.Do not use needle.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.If permitted by hospital protocol, the may be cut off.If this fails, contact an 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.The actual/suspected device was inspected.
