Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Received 1 red lubri catheter.The reported event was confirmed as manufacturer related.Per visual inspection, the exterior of the sample was examined and the eye on the tip end of the sample was not positioned correctly.A potential root cause is incorrect hand burning of the eyes.The device history record was reviewed and found nothing that could have caused or contributed to the reported event.The instructions for use state the following: "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.Allow the pressure within the balloon to force the plunger back and fill the syringe with water.If you notice slow or no deflation, re-seat the syringe gently.Use only gentle aspiration to encourage deflation if needed.Vigorous aspiration may collapse the inflation lumen, preventing balloon deflation.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.".
