Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a nurse placed a foley catheter in the patient for neo bladder decompression upon admission to the hospital.The nurse instilled 10cc of sterile water into the balloon, during which time there was leakage of some water from the balloon port tubing about half way from the hub to the insertion of the catheter.The customer alleges the balloon appears to have been partially inflated and currently remains in place.However, there is a higher risk of becoming dislodged in which case a new catheter will have to be placed.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The device was not returned for evaluation.A potential root cause of the reported event could be poor inflation lumen coverage due to which the lumen collapsed, resulting in inflation difficulties at placement, procedure delay and possible replacement of device.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: ¿warning: on catheter, do not use ointments or lubricants having petrolatum base.They will damage latex and may cause the balloon to burst.Caution: do not aspirate urine through drainage funnel wall.Storage: store catheters at room temperature away from direct exposure to light, preferably in the original box.Single patient use only.Do not reuse.Do not resterilize.For urological use only.Valve type: use luer slip tip syringe.Do not use needle.Recommended inflation capacities 3cc balloon: use 5ml sterile water 5cc balloon: use 10ml sterile water 15cc balloon: use 20ml sterile water 20cc balloon: use 25ml sterile water 30cc balloon: use 35ml sterile water 40cc balloon: use 45ml sterile water 75cc balloon: use 80ml sterile water do not exceed recommended capacities.Warning: after use, this product may be a potential biohazard.Handle and dispose of in accordance with applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations.Bard and bardex are registered trademarks of c.R.Bard, inc.Or an affiliate.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.".
