Manufacturer Narrative

The device was not returned for evaluation.A potential root cause for this failure could be "incorrect/ missing translation; missing instructions; vendor/printer error".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: ¿1.Bard® heyman¿ followers are intended to be used with bardex® councill catheters and bard® heyman¿ filiform catheters.All individual devices are disposable and sold sterile.2.The filiform catheter comes packaged with a disposable stylet to use for insertion.Insert the bard® heyman¿ filiform catheter with stylet in place.The filiform catheter may be placed by inserting through a cystoscope under direct vision.Direct view catheter placement will decrease the number of difficult and possible false passages.3.There is a 3 centimeter orientation marking on the filiform catheter at 30 centimeters from the distal end to assist with placing the filiform catheter in the bladder.Placement of the filiform catheter in the bladder can be determined by removing the stylet and observing urine or aspirating urine with a syringe.If added confirmation is necessary, a radio graph can be taken after injecting radiopaque dye into the filiform catheter.When the filiform catheter has been properly placed, the stylet should be discarded.4.Starting with the smaller sizes, slip the bard® heyman¿ followers (straight or coude) over the filiform catheter.Increase the follower size until the desired dilation is accomplished.5.Slip a bardex® councill catheter over the filiform catheter and when it is in place, inflate balloon.Remove the filiform catheter.If, at a later time, the councill catheter is to be replaced, insert a new filiform catheter prior to removing the councill catheter.The filiform catheter will then guide the new councill catheter into place.After use, this product may be potential biohazard.Handle and dispose of in accordance with accepted medical practice and applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations.Warning: because the filiform catheter may advance with the passage of the followers, a length of the filiform catheter should always appear beyond the proximal end of the follower, otherwise the filiform catheter may be left in the urethra when the follower is withdrawn." corrections: d4, d10.H11:section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.H3 other text : the device was not returned.
