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. A VERY LIGHT PRESSURE ON THE URETHRAL CANAL ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE PENIS WILL PREVENT ANY LEAKAGE. 2. THE NECESSARY PRESSURE IS ACHIEVED BY THE HUMP IN THE UNDER PART OF THE CUNNINGHAM CLAMP. 3. FOR PROPER FIT AND COMFORT THE UPPER PART OF THE CLAMP CAN BE EASILY SHAPED BY THE FINGERS. 4. EXACT ADJUSTMENT OF PRESSURE IS ACHIEVED BY THE RATCHET CATCH ON THE REGULAR AND LARGE SIZES AND THE ADJUSTABLE SNAP BUTTON ON THE JUVENILE SIZE. TO RELEASE THE CATCH ON THE REGULAR AND LARGE SIZES, MERELY PRESS INWARD ON BOTH THE SPRING WIRE LOOPS. 5.
