Additional Manufacturer Narrative
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 treatment purposes.It was unknown whether the product had caused the reported failure.A potential root cause for this failure could be ¿occlusion from biological materials¿.The device was not returned for evaluation.The lot number is unknown; therefore, the device history record could not be reviewed.The instructions for use were found adequate and state the following: 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.Using proper aseptic methods, remove catheter from package.Prepare patient per hospital/nursing recommended procedure.Proceed with catheterization using standard techniques.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.Connect catheter to collection container.Connect temperature plug to appropriate patient monitor.To deflate the 5cc balloon, gently reinsert the luer tip syringe into the valve and aspirate.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: 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.".
