Intended Use

The Dfiner is indicated for catheterization of the male urethra for the introduction of contrast materials.

Device Description

The Dfiner Urological Catheter is a dual lumen flexible co-axial catheter. The main lumen contains a flexable sheath which houses is a solid flexible rod. Attached to the distal end of the rod is an array of wires. The wire bundle can be advanced and deployed in the bladder to assist with anatomical imaging. Contrast material is introduced through the main lumen. The catheter has a rigid "Y" connector at the proximal end that allows the wire bundle/sheath to be deployed/retracted and access to the main lumen.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for the Dfiner Urological Catheter. It does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria in the way typically associated with AI/ML medical devices.

The document describes a traditional medical device (a catheter) and references a "comparison of technological characteristics" to predicate devices, rather than a clinical performance study with acceptance criteria, sample sizes, ground truth, or expert involvement.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to already legally marketed devices based on design, intended use, and materials of manufacture, not on the performance of an AI algorithm.

Dear Mr. Kieras:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

{2}------------------------------------------------

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter:
