Intended Use
The InCare Intermittent Catheter is indicated for use by male, female and pediatric patients for the purpose of bladder drainage. The Catheter is a flexible tubular device that is inserted through the urethra and used to pass fluids to or from the urinary tract.
Device Description
The InCare Intermittent Catheters are intended to be used as a means of managing urinary incontinence by draining urine from the bladder. The InCare Intermittent Catheters are sterile, non-latex, PVC catheters. A unique manufacturing process ensures that the eyes of the intermittent catheters are polished and smooth to help eliminate trauma to the urethra, reducing the possibility of hematuria. The catheter packaging has been designed to facilitate easy opening for those users with limited dexterity. The InCare Intermittent catheters are available in various sizes to accommodate a wide range of male, female, and pediatric end users.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the physical characteristics and intended use of a standard intermittent catheter, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The document explicitly states the intended use of the device is for bladder drainage and managing urinary incontinence, which are therapeutic actions.

No

The InCare Intermittent Catheter is described as a "flexible tubular device that is inserted through the urethra and used to pass fluids to or from the urinary tract." Its purpose is "bladder drainage" and "managing urinary incontinence by draining urine from the bladder." These descriptions indicate a therapeutic or management function rather than a diagnostic one (identifying a disease or condition).

No

The device description clearly describes a physical, flexible tubular device (catheter) made of PVC, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The InCare Intermittent Catheter is a device that is inserted into the body (through the urethra) to drain urine from the bladder. It is a therapeutic and management device, not a diagnostic testing device.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "bladder drainage" and "managing urinary incontinence by draining urine from the bladder." This is a direct intervention on the body, not a test on a sample.

The information provided clearly describes a device used for a physical procedure within the body, not for performing diagnostic tests on samples.

Dear Mr. Tokarz:

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.
