The reported event was unconfirmed.Visual evaluation of the samples noted no obvious defects.An adhesive peel test was performed and the samples were cut (0.7095", 0.7265") to the required width (0.70" +/- 0.05 ").The adhesive peel strength (0.6689lbf, 0.6546lbf) was found to be low and out of specification (0.80-2.80lbf) for the samples tested.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: "contraindication do not use on irritated or compromised skin.Precaution do not use if allergic reaction occurs.For good hygiene, change catheter daily.Use of a single device for longer periods than 24 hours may increase the risk of complications.Directions: to apply 1) wash penis with mild soap and warm water.Dry thoroughly.2) trim pubic hair if necessary.3) open package at perforation.4) to remove plastic insert, squeeze catheter at the top of the white cone and pull to release.5) unroll self-adhering catheter over penis.6) gently squeeze the catheter to properly seal adhesive to the skin.7) connect to collection bag.Important: wear time may be significantly reduced if adhesive is not properly sealed to the skin.Directions: to remove gently roll catheter off the penis.Note: if necessary, apply a warm wet compress (such as a wet washcloth) around the catheter to help loosen the adhesive.".
