Hi!. Thanks for your query. When was the catheter changed last time. If its already a long time get it changed. Otherwise you can try flushing with water and see if the particles are still coming. These black particles may be deposits which have stagnated in the bladder. Try the above said suggestion and observe. Sholuld be benefitted. Take care.
