Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The reported event was confirmed a bardex 4-wing malecot catheter was returned.A pinhole was noted on the shaft near the funnel.A potential root cause for this failure could be "operator error".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: do not use ointments or lubricants having a petrolatum base.They will damage latex.Visually inspect the product for any imperfections or surface deterioration prior to use.Storage: store catheters at room temperature away from direct exposure to light, preferably in the original box." the user guide currently contains instruction that would assist in preventing potential user related causes of reported issue." 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.
