Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The reported event was inconclusive as no sample was returned for evaluation.A potential root cause could be due to the ¿high modulus latex¿.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: "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.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." 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.
