The reported event was inconclusive because no sample was available for evaluation and further investigation did not result in any additional findings.The 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 ¿bad fit with connector".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 state the following: ¿lubri-sil® latex-free 400-series temperature-sensing hydrogel coated foley catheter caution: federal (u.S.A.) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.Sterile: unless package is opened or damaged.Sterilized by ethylene oxide caution: do not aspirate urine through drainage funnel wall.Storage: store catheters at room temperature away from direct exposure to light, preferably in the original box.Single use only do not resterilize for urological use only valve type: use luer slip syringe.Do not use needle recommended inflation capacities 8 fr.And 10 fr.(3cc balloon): use 3.5cc sterile water 12 fr.(5cc balloon): use 5.5cc sterile water 14 fr.And larger (5cc balloon): use 10cc sterile water do not exceed recommended capacities.Warning: after use, this product may be a potential biohazard.Handle and dispose of in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.Caution: aggressive traction, particularly in the presence of suturing, is not recommended for 100% silicone foley catheters.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.Allow the balloon to deflate slowly on its own.Do not aspirate or manually accelerate the deflation of the balloon.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.Visually inspect the product for any imperfections or surface deterioration prior to use.Note: compatible with appropriate 400-series temperature monitors.Interchangeability + 0.2 degree celsius at 37 degree celsius.Caution: as with all temperature probes, in the presence of rf energy sources, local heating, temperature errors, and probe damage may occur.In medical use, unplug the temperature-sensing catheter at the temperature monitor before activating electrosurgical or other types of direct coupled rf energy sources.Do not stretch catheter.This will cause repositioning of probe.Do not use stylet.This will cause stretching of catheter.¿ correction: d,g h11: section a through f - 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.
