Intended Use
The Fossa Ureteral Stone Sweeper is indicated for use as an indwelling ureteral catheter to promote drainage of urine from the kidney to the bladder, and/or for the manipulation, capture and removal of urinary calculi.
Device Description
The Fossa Ureteral Stone Sweeper set consists of a flexible, Piqtail tipped, selfexpanding stent with: Insertion sheath, "Pusher," and optional pre-attached suture to facilitate stent removal. The stent is offered in various diameters and working lengths. Short slits along the working length of the stent allow radial device expansion to permit fluid flow through and around the device, and to permit stone passage into the inner stent's lumen.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and function of a ureteral stent and stone removal device, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is intended to promote drainage of urine and facilitate the manipulation, capture, and removal of urinary calculi, which are therapeutic actions addressing a medical condition (urinary obstruction or stones).

No

The device is indicated for promoting drainage and for the manipulation, capture, and removal of urinary calculi, which are therapeutic and interventional actions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a flexible stent, insertion sheath, and pusher, indicating it is a hardware medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is used within the body ("indwelling ureteral catheter") to promote drainage and manipulate/remove urinary calculi. This is a therapeutic and interventional use, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device (stent, sheath, pusher) designed for insertion and manipulation within the ureter. This aligns with a medical device used for treatment or intervention, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (like urine, blood, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.

Dear Ms. Papineau:

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.
