The reported event is inconclusive as no sample was returned for evaluation.A potential root cause for this failure mode could be "adhesive properties (strength degradation)".The lot number is unknown; therefore, the device history record could not be reviewed.The instructions for use were found adequate and state the following: "visually inspect the product for any imperfections or surface deterioration prior to use.If package is opened or if any imperfection or surface deterioration is observed, do not use.Bard® ez-lok® sampling port (indicated by the blue stem in the port) accepts luer lock (fig.1a) or slip tip syringes (fig.1b).1.Occlude drainage tubing a minimum of 3 inches below the sampling port by kinking the tubing until urine is visible under the access site.2.Swab surface of bard® ez-lok® sampling port with antiseptic wipe.(fig.2) 3.Using aseptic technique, position the syringe in the center of the sampling port.Press the syringe firmly and twist gently to access the sampling port.(fig.3) 4.Slowly aspirate urine sample into syringe and remove syringe from sample port.5.Unkink tubing if necessary and transfer urine specimen into specimen cup or follow hospital protocol.Discard syringe according to hospital protocol.6.Follow established hospital protocol for specimen labeling and transport to lab.".
