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.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for the InCare Intermittent Catheter. This document does not describe a study to prove the device meets acceptance criteria. Instead, it focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices. Substantial equivalence relies on comparing the new device's design, materials, and intended use to existing, legally marketed devices, rather than conducting new performance studies against specific acceptance criteria.

Therefore, the requested information elements related to a study (like acceptance criteria table, sample sizes, expert ground truth, adjudication, MRMC, standalone performance, and ground truth for training data) are not available in this document.

Here's what can be extracted based on the nature of the document:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

  • This information is not provided. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence rather than performance against pre-defined acceptance criteria from a specific study.

2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • This information is not applicable. No specific test set or study data is mentioned for performance evaluation.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

  • This information is not applicable. No test set or ground truth establishment by experts is described for performance evaluation.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

  • This information is not applicable. No test set or adjudication method is described.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

  • No MRMC study was done, as this is not an AI-assisted device.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

  • Not applicable, as this is not an algorithm or AI device.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

  • Not applicable. The "ground truth" in a 510(k) for substantial equivalence relies on comparing features to existing predicate devices, not on a ground truth for performance.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable. This is not an AI/algorithm device that requires a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • Not applicable. This is not an AI/algorithm device that requires a training set or ground truth for it.

Based on the provided text, the key information is related to the substantial equivalence determination:

  • Acceptance Criteria for Substantial Equivalence: The criteria implicitly accepted by the FDA for substantial equivalence in this context are:

    • Identical Intended Use: The new device must have the same intended use as the predicate device(s).
    • Same Technological Characteristics: If the technological characteristics are the same, the device is substantially equivalent.
    • Different Technological Characteristics but as Safe and Effective: If the technological characteristics are different, the device must not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness, and information must be provided that demonstrates the device is as safe and effective as the legally marketed device.
  • Reported Device Performance (in terms of Substantial Equivalence):

    • Intended Use: The InCare Intermittent Catheter is "indicated for use by male, female and pediatric patients for the purpose of bladder drainage" which is stated as substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
    • Technological Characteristics: The device is described as "substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in design, materials used, and intended use." Specifically, it is made of "PVC material that is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices."
    • Biocompatibility: A biocompatibility assessment was conducted based on established guidelines (USP, G95-1, ISO 10993-1). The materials are "considered biocompatible and appropriate for their intended use." This addresses a key aspect of safety.

In summary, this 510(k) document is a declaration of substantial equivalence, not a report of a performance study against specific acceptance criteria.

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. 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.
