The reported event was confirmed as cause unknown.1 used silicone catheter was returned for evaluation.Per evaluation of the sample, a mushroom shaped balloon was confirmed.During the visual inspection a cuff roll was observed.During the functional evaluation a cuff roll formed.The dimensional evaluation the catheter was found within specification.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 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.Visually inspect the product for any imperfections or surface deterioration prior to use.".
