Intended Use

The PORGES™ Ureteral catheters are used for ureteral catheterisation:

  • drainage catheters: straight catheters with bevel, olive or cylindrical tip, elbowed catheter with olive tip
  • catheters for retrograde ureteropyelography (R.U.P.): Chevassu, cone or Braasch -
  • interventional catheters: flush, open straight, open elbowed. The appropriate quide-wire size for each catheter is shown on the box.
Device Description

The PORGES™ Ureteral catheters consist of a single lumen catheter in medical grade radiopaque polymer, graduated every cm along 50 cm, and fitted with either a metal or a polymer removable stylet or no stylet. The stylet allows straightening of the catheter for easier insertion. A wax knob is added on the external end of the stylet for easy retreat of the coudé tip catheters are fitted with a silicone stop ring on the stylet between the catheter and the wax knob to hold the renal tip of the stylet away from the catheter's renal tip.

The ureteral catheters are available with different types of renal tips and in sizes ranging from 03 FR to 12 FR.

The preamendment devices have been designed for R.U.P. (retrograde ureteropyelography).

PORGES has validated the following uses for the new range of ureteral catheters :

  • . drainage
  • R.U.P. (= retrograde uretero pyelography) .
  • interventional ("per operating") use with a Seldinger guide wire (not supplied)

The PORGES™ Ureteral catheters are supplied sterile and for single use only.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the PORGES™ Ureteral catheters. It does not describe an AI/ML powered device, but rather a traditional medical device (catheters). Therefore, many of the requested details, such as those pertaining to AI model performance, multi-reader multi-case studies, and ground truth establishment for AI training sets, are not applicable and cannot be extracted from this document.

However, I can provide the relevant information regarding the device's acceptance criteria and the study that proves it meets them, based on the provided text.

Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for PORGES™ Ureteral Catheters

The PORGES™ Ureteral catheters are traditional medical devices, and their acceptance criteria and proof of compliance are based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through technical characteristics and performance testing, rather than AI/ML model performance metrics.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance Criteria (Performance Specifications)Reported Device Performance (Test Results)
Functional Performance:
- Flow rateSuccessfully passed, demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices.
- Tensile strengthSuccessfully passed, demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices.
- Tear strength of bulbs (for Chevassu and cone-tip catheters)Successfully passed, demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices.
- Passage of contrast mediumSuccessfully passed, demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices.
Biocompatibility:Successfully passed biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-1.
Material Equivalence:Similar materials (medical grade thermoplastic like polyvinyl chloride, polyamide, polyurethane, PEBA) to predicate devices. The choice of material provides a slight difference in stiffness but "does not affect clinical properties."
Tip Performance:The straight open tip of interventional ureters allows placement over a guide-wire, performing similarly to the "straight whistle tip of both Porges' and Bard's currently marketed catheters."
Design and Manufacturing:Held to the same design, manufacture, and performance specifications as the predicate devices.
Safety and Effectiveness:Confirmed by biocompatibility and mechanical/physical tests; device performs "as well as or better than the predicate devices."

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance

The document does not specify exact sample sizes for the mechanical/physical and biocompatibility tests. It broadly states that "The PORGES™ Ureteral catheters referenced in this submission are held to the same design, manufacture, and performance specifications as the predicate devices." Testing was performed on the PORGES™ Ureteral catheters to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

  • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated for specific tests.
  • Data Provenance: The tests were conducted on the PORGES™ Ureteral catheters themselves, manufactured by PORGES S.A. in France. The study is prospective in the sense that the new device was tested against established standards and predicates.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

This information is not applicable as the device is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML algorithm. "Ground truth" in this context refers to established engineering and biocompatibility standards, not expert consensus on image interpretation or similar AI-related tasks.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not applicable as the device is a physical medical device. Test results for mechanical, physical, and biocompatibility properties are typically objective measurements against defined thresholds, not subjective evaluations requiring adjudication.

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

This information is not applicable as the device is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML system, and therefore, an MRMC study related to AI assistance would not have been conducted.

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

This information is not applicable as the device is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" (or basis for evaluation) for this device is based on established engineering and material science standards and pre-clinical laboratory tests. This includes:

  • Objective measurements: for flow rate, tensile strength, tear strength, and passage of contrast medium. These are quantitative assessments against predefined specifications for the device's functional performance.
  • Biocompatibility standards: specifically ISO 10993-1.
  • Comparison to predicate devices: The "ground truth" for substantial equivalence often means demonstrating performance "as well as or better than" legally marketed predicate devices, which have a known history of safe and effective use.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not applicable as the device is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML system. There is no "training set" in the context of this 510(k) submission.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

This information is not applicable as the device is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML system.

J.6. Technological characteristics

The PORGES™ Ureteral catheters have similar technological and performance characteristics to the predicate devices. The PORGES™ Ureteral catheters are similar as it concerns its materials to PORGES and C.R. Bard's currently marketed ureteral catheters and to the Bard Flexible tip ureteral catheter (K950300). All are made of medical grade thermoplastic material. The choice of either a polyvinyl chloride, polyamide, polyurethane or PEBA (polyether block amide) catheter or metal or polymer stylet may provide a slight difference in stiffness, which does not affect clinical properties, but may be preferred by practioners according to the method of use.

The polyvinyl chloride and polyamide mixtures which are used for the manufacturing of most PORGES Ureteral catheters are the same as those used since 1971 for the manufacturing of the PORGES preamendment devices.

The straight open tip of the interventional ureters allows placement over a quide-wire. The straight open tip is similar in performance as the straight whistle tip of both Porges' and Bard's currently marketed catheters.
