It was reported that an end user who uses the apogee intermittent catheter to irrigate his malone appendicostomy stoma, had the catheter migrate into his colon and required a colonoscopy to retrieve.It was reported that the end user inserted the catheter into the stoma and taped it to his skin.About two hours later, he went to flush saline through the catheter but found only the blue funnel present.It was reported that the catheter body migrated into the stoma during the two hours it was taped to his body.It was reported that despite numerous irrigations with the apogee intermittent catheter over the next several days, the catheter body would not come out rectally.It was reported that 5 days after this reported catheter migration, he had a colonoscopy performed rectally and the catheter was located and retrieved.It was reported that the end user felt fine after this procedure.
