Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The initial reporter's zip code: (b)(6).The reported event was inconclusive because this investigation did not result in any additional findings and no sample was available for evaluation.The reported event is addressed within the labeling as it states: warning: 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.Refer to the instructions for use.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 a serious injury to the patient.Do not stretch catheter.This will cause repositioning of probe.Do not use stylet.This will cause stretching of catheter.Recommended inflation capacities: 14 fr.And larger (5cc balloon): use 10cc sterile water.Do not exceed recommended capacities.Catheters should be replaced in accordance with the cdc guideline "guideline for prevention of catheter associated urinary tract infection".At the onset or first signs of a urinary tract infection, catheter encrustation, or any other catheter related adverse effect, the catheter should be replaced.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.If you notice slow or no deflation, reseat 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.The dhr review could not be performed without a lot number.No additional actions can be taken at this time.Udi format updated with available product information per gudid.H11: sections 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.
