Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The device was not returned for evaluation.The device history record was reviewed and found nothing that could have caused or contributed to the reported event.The instructions for use were found adequate and 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.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 necessary, contact adequately trained professional for assistance as directed by hospital protocol.".
