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.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical components and function of a catheter for contrast introduction and anatomical imaging assistance, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.

The device is indicated for the introduction of contrast materials for imaging purposes, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one.

No

The device is indicated for catheterization and introduction of contrast materials. While it assists with anatomical imaging, its primary function is not to provide a diagnosis but rather to facilitate imaging by delivering contrast and assisting with visualization.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with lumens, a flexible sheath, a solid flexible rod, and an array of wires, indicating it is a hardware medical device.

Based on the provided information, the Dfiner is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "catheterization of the male urethra for the introduction of contrast materials." This describes a procedure performed on the patient's body (in vivo), not a test performed on a sample taken from the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for insertion into the urethra and deployment within the bladder for imaging purposes. This is a medical device used for a diagnostic procedure within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

In summary, the Dfiner is a medical device used for an in-vivo diagnostic procedure (imaging within the body), not an in-vitro diagnostic test performed on a sample.

§ 876.5130 Urological catheter and accessories.

(a)
Identification. A urological catheter and accessories is a flexible tubular device that is inserted through the urethra and used to pass fluids to or from the urinary tract. This generic type of device includes radiopaque urological catheters, ureteral catheters, urethral catheters, coudé catheters, balloon retention type catheters, straight catheters, upper urinary tract catheters, double lumen female urethrographic catheters, disposable ureteral catheters, male urethrographic catheters, and urological catheter accessories including ureteral catheter stylets, ureteral catheter adapters, ureteral catheter holders, ureteral catheter stylets, ureteral catheterization trays, and the gastro-urological irrigation tray (for urological use).(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (performance standards).(2) Class I for the ureteral stylet (guidewire), stylet for gastrourological catheter, ureteral catheter adapter, ureteral catheter connector, and ureteral catheter holder. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.

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.
