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 ¿poor inflation lumen coverage".However, there was insufficient information to confirm this potential root cause.The device history record review could not be performed without a lot number.The instructions for use were found adequate and state the following: "this temperature foley catheter is mr conditional.A patient with this device may be safely scanned under certain conditions.Failure to follow these conditions may result in serious injury to the patient.Special instructions: the position of the wire of the temperature sensing foley catheter has an important effect on the amount of heat that may develop during an mri examination.Accordingly, the temperature sensing foley catheter must be positioned in a straight configuration down the center of the patient table (i.E.Down the center of the mri system without any loop) without contacting the patient in order to endure patient safety.This product should never be connected to the temperature monitor or connected to a cable during an mri procedure.Failure to follow this guideline may result in serious injury to the patient.It is important to closely follow these specific conditions that have been determined to permit the examination to be conducted safely.Any deviation may result in serious injury to the patient.Additional safety instructions include the following.1.Remove all electrically conductive material from the bore of the mr system that is not required for the mri examination (i.E.Unused surface coils, cables, etc) 2.Keep electrically conductive material that must remain in the bore of the mr system from directly contacting the patient by placing insulating material such as foam rubber padding between the conductive material and the patient.3.Position the temperature sensing foley catheter in a straight configuration down the center of the patient table to prevent cross points and conductive coils or loops.4.The wire and connector of the temperature sensing foley catheter should not be in direct contact with the patient during the mri examination.Position of the temperature sensing foley catheter appropriately and add insulating material such as foam rubber padding, accordingly." udi format updated with available product information per gudid.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.
