The reported event was inconclusive because no sample was returned.No actions can be taken at this time since a root cause was not identified.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: visually inspect the product for any imperfections or surface deterioration prior to use.Warning: do not use ointments or lubricants having a petrolatum base.They will damage silicone and may cause balloon to burst.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.Caution: aggressive traction, particularly in the presence of suturing, is not recommended for 100% silicone balloon 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.Correction: d, e, f, h.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.
