Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The reported event was inconclusive because no sample was returned.A potential root cause for this failure could be "phone plug mismatch with female connector".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: ¿warning: on catheter, do not use ointments or lubricants having a petrolatum base.They will damage the catheter and may cause balloon to burst.Warning: after use, this product may be a potential biohazard.Handle and dispose of in accordance with accepted medical practices and applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations.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.Please consult product label and insert for any indications, contraindications, hazards, warnings, cautions and directions for use.Proper techniques for urinary catheter insertion: perform hand hygiene immediately before and after insertion.Insert urinary catheters using aseptic technique and sterile equipment.Use the smallest foley catheter possible, consistent with good drainage.Document the indications for catheter insertion, date and time of catheter insertion, individual who inserted catheter, and date and time of catheter removal in patient record.Proper techniques for urinary catheter maintenance: secure the foley catheter, use the statlock® foley stabilization device if provided.Maintain a closed drainage system by utilizing pre-connected, sealed catheter-tubing junctions.Maintain unobstructed urine flow and keep the catheter and collection tube free from kinking.Keep the collection bag below the level of the bladder or hips at all times.Empty the collection bag regularly (e.G., prior to transport) using a separate, clean collection container for each patient.Routine hygiene (e.G., cleansing of the meatal surface during daily bathing or showering) is appropriate.Leave foley catheter in place only as long as needed.Directions for use: 1.Wash hands and don clean gloves.2.Explain procedure to patient and open peri-care kit.3.Use the provided packet of wipes to cleanse patient¿s periurethral area.4.Remove gloves and perform hand hygiene with provided alcohol hand sanitizer gel.5.Using proper aseptic technique open csr wrap.6.Don sterile gloves.7.Place underpad beneath patient, plastic/¿shiny¿ side down note: use caution to maintain aseptic technique.8.Position fenestrated drape on patient.9.Saturate 3 foam swab sticks in povidone iodine.10.Attach the water filled syringe to the inflation port note: it is not necessary to pre-test the foley catheter balloon.11.Remove foley catheter from wrap and lubricate catheter.12.Prepare patient with 3 foam swab sticks saturated in povidone iodine.Use the nondominant hand for the genitalia and the dominant hand for the swabs note: use each swab stick for one swipe only.Female patient: with a downward stroke cleanse the right labia minora and discard the swab.Do the same for the left labia minora.With the last swabstick cleanse the middle area between the labia minora.Male patient: cleanse the penis in a circular motion starting at the urethral meatus and working outward.13.Proceed with catheterization in usual manner using the dominant hand a.When catheter tip has entered bladder, urine will be visible in the drainage tube b.Insert catheter two more inches and inflate catheter balloon.14.Inflate the balloon with sterile water to the volume stated on the inflation lumen of the catheter by using a water-filled syringe.Do not exceed recommended capacities as stated on the inflation lumen of the catheter.Note: use of less than the recommended volume can result in asymmetrically inflated balloon.15.Once inflated, gently pull catheter until the inflated balloon is snug against the bladder neck.16.Secure the foley catheter to the patient.Use the statlock ® foley stabilization device if provided (see statlock ® foley stabilization device instructions for use) note: please make sure patient is appropriate for use of statlock® stabilization device.17.Position hanger on bed rail at the foot of the bed note: exercise care to keep bag off the floor.18.Use green sheeting clip to secure drainage tube to the sheet.Make sure tube is not kinked.19.Indicate time and date of catheter insertion on provided labels.Place designated labels on patient chart and drainage system.20.Document procedure according to hospital protocol.21.Foley catheter removal: 1.To deflate catheter balloon: gently insert a luer lock or slip tip syringe in the catheter valve.Never use more force than is required to make the syringe ¿stick¿ in the valve.2.Allow the pressure within 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.3.Use only gentle aspiration to encourage deflation if needed.Vigorous aspiration may collapse the inflation lumen, preventing balloon deflation.4.If the balloon will not deflate and 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.5.Should balloon rupture occur, care should be taken to assure that all balloon fragments have been removed from the patient.¿ h11: section a through f - the information provided by bd
