Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The reported event was inconclusive because no sample was available for evaluation and further investigation did not result in any additional findings.Root cause could not be identified.Although a root cause could not be definitively identified, based on the risk documentation review, a potential root cause for this type of failure could be "inadequate design".However, there was insufficient information to confirm this potential root cause.A review of the device history record did not show any problems or conditions that would have contributed to the reported issue.The instructions for use were found adequate and states the following: warning: do not use ointments or lubricants having a petrolatum base.They will damage the catheter.This is a 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.Visually inspect the product for any imperfections or surface deterioration prior to use.Use luer tip syringe to inflate with stated ml of sterile water.Or for pre-filled products, remove clip and squeeze reservoir to inflate with stated ml of sterile water.Storage: store catheters at room temperature away from direct exposure to light, preferably in the original box.For urological use only.Do not use if package is damaged.Do not re-sterilize 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 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.Use only gentle aspiration to encourage deflation if needed.Vigorous aspiration may collapse the inflation lumen, preventing balloon deflation.If necessary, 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.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.
