Intended Use

The Disposable Ureteral Stents are used for temporary internal drainage from the ureteropelvic junction to the bladder. Ureteral stents have been used to relieve obstruction in a variety of benign, malignant and post-traumatic conditions. The stents are placed using endoscopic technique. The indwelling time should not exceed 30 days.

Device Description

The Disposable Ureteral Stents are a set of ureteral stents used for temporary internal drainage from the ureteropelvic junction to the bladder. The subject ureteral stent is a flexible, tubular double pigtail stent composed of radiopaque polycarbonate-based polyurethane with hydrophilic coating. The subject stents include two stent types: Type C and Type D stents. The only difference between the two types of stents is the opening at the stent end (Type C - single opening at one end only vs. Type D - double openings with one at each end).

The Disposable Ureteral Stents are available in 4.0 to 8.0 French (Fr) diameter, with lengths ranging from 14.0 to 28.0 centimeters (cm) (4Fr × 14 cm for pediatric patients and other sizes for adults). The stents are supplied sterile, packaged with a small pusher tube. Depending on configurations, the device package may include an optional guide wire, clamp or silk thread in addition to the stent and pusher tube.

The Disposable Ureteral Stents are not intended for long-term use. The stents are labeled for indwell time not to exceed thirty (30) days and no repeated use. The Silk thread should be removed after 14 days.

Dear Lucius Long:

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 (the 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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

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, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

*The 4.0Fr stent is intended for pediatric patients and the reference device includes this size.

As evidenced by the above table, both the subject and predicate devices have similar intended use, but they have different technological characteristics. Non-clinical testing was conducted on the subject stents, and it was established that the differences in technological characteristics between the subject and predicate devices do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness.

VII. Non-Clinical Data

The Disposable Ureteral Stents were tested and demonstrated to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device in safety and performance.

Biocompatibility Testing:

Biocompatibility of the Disposable Ureteral Stents was evaluated in accordance with the FDA guidance "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, 'Biological evaluation of medical devices -Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process'" (September 4, 2020). The following biological endpoints were addressed:

  • Cytotoxicity
  • Sensitization
  • Intracutaneous Reactivity
  • Acute Systemic Toxicity
  • Material-Mediated Pyrogenicity
  • Subacute Systemic Toxicity
  • Muscle Implantation
  • Genotoxicity

Sterility and Shelf Life:

The subject device is sterilized by Ethylene Oxide Gas to achieve a SAL of 10-6 (ISO 11135:2014) and the device packaging was tested for integrity in maintaining a sterile barrier over a shelf life of 2 years. An accelerated aging study and simulated transportation study were conducted on representative device models to demonstrate that the subject device was able to maintain the device performance over a shelf life of 2 years.

Bench Performance Testing:

A battery of bench testing based on the FDA guidance "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Notification for Ureteral Stents" (1993) and ASTM 1828-22 "Standard specification for ureteral stents" was conducted on the subject and predicate stents using established methods to demonstrate the substantial equivalence to the predicate device.

The performance evaluations included:

  • Appearance and dimensions
  • Flow rate
  • Break strength and elongation
  • Pigtail retention strength
  • Dynamic frictional force
  • Ink adherence
  • Guidewire performance and compatibility
  • Pusher tube performance and compatibility
  • Clamp strength
  • Silk thread strength and attachment performance

VIII. Clinical Testing

No clinical study is included in this submission.

IX. Conclusions

The proposed device has the similar indications for use and has similar design features and technological characteristic as the predicate device. Non-clinical testing data demonstrates that the proposed device is as safe and effective as the predicate device. Therefore, the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device Universa™ Firm Ureteral Stents and Stents Sets.

§ 876.4620 Ureteral stent.

(a)
Identification. A ureteral stent is a tube-like implanted device that is inserted into the ureter to provide ureteral rigidity and allow the passage of urine. The device may have finger-like protrusions or hooked ends to keep the tube in place. It is used in the treatment of ureteral injuries and ureteral obstruction.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
