How to Use Bard Drain Bag Foley Tray?

Inflation/Deflation Guidelines:

• Proper Catheter Inflation:
  • Ensure that the Bard Foley catheter balloon is positioned well within the patients bladder.
  • Slowly, with a gentle, constant force, inflate the Bard Foley catheter balloon with the volume prescribed on the package. Note that a 5cc balloon must be inflated with between 9cc and 10cc of sterile water.
  • Improperly inflated Bard Foley catheter balloons may cause drainage and deflation difficulties.
• Catheter Deflation:
  • Select a luer slip syringe
  • Slide the plunger of the syringe up and down the barrel of the syringe several times to "loosen it up"
  • Compress the plunger all the way and then pull back the plunger slightly so that it does not adhere to the front of the syringe barrel
  • Gently insert syringe in the catheter valve
  • Do not 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, once again, allow the balloon to deflate slowly on its own
  • If the balloon does not deflate, reposition the patient
  • Ensure that the catheter is not in traction - the proximal end of the catheter is not compressed within the bladder neck
  • Ensure that urine flows freely
  • Attempt to deflate the balloon by using the pressure in the balloon to force water into the syringe
  • If the balloon still fails to deflate, apply very gentle, slow aspiration, aspiration that is too rapid or too forceful, may cause the inflation lumen within the Foley catheter to collapse
  • If permitted by hospital protocol, the valve arm may be severed
  • If this fails, contact an adequately trained professional for assistance, as directed by hospital protocol

Urine Drainage Bag Positioning:

• Never allow tubing to loop or kink
• Position the drainage bag at the foot of the bed
• Hold spine and lift meter to facilitate emptying

EZ-Lok Guidelines for Drainage:

• Occlude drainage tubing a minimum of 3" below the sampling port by kinking the tubing until urine is visible under the access site
• Swab surface of Bard EZ-Lok Sampling Port with antiseptic wipe
• Using aseptic technique, position the syringe in the center of the sampling port. The syringe should be held perpendicular to the surface of the sampling port (at approximately 80^o-100^o angle), press the syringe firmly and twist gently to access the sampling port
• Slowly aspirate urine sample into syringe and remove from sample port
• Unkink tubing and transfer urine specimen into specimen cup, discard syringe according to hospital protocol
• Follow established hospital protocol for specimen labeling and transport to lab

Points to Remember:

• Always keep the drainage bag lower than the catheter and the patients bladder
• When the patient is being transported on a gurney - When the patient ambulates
• When the patient is using a wheelchair
  Otherwise, it can slow emptying of the bladder, causing patient discomfort and potentially increasing the risk of contamination system
