Intended Use
The UASS is indicated for use in endoscopic procedures to facilitate the passage of endoscopes, urological instruments and for the injection of fluids into the urinary tract via antegrade and/or retrograde access.
Device Description
The UASS is designed to create a conduit for urological procedural instruments. This set consists of two components: an inner tapered semi-rigid dilator and an outer more flexible sheath. The outer flexible sheath fits over the semi-rigid inner dilator and it may be locked into place. These components are radiopaque and have a lubricous coating UroGlide™. The device is offered in two French sizes, 11/13 Fr, and 13/15 Fr. in lengths up to 49cm. The UASS may be placed retrograde and/or antegrade. To guide the access sheath into the body orifice the dilator is advanced over up to a .038" guidewire. The device can be visualized under xray (fluoroscopy) during placement to confirm location. The proposed device can accept other urological instrumentation with OD's compatible with the sheath's working channel of 11 and 13 Fr, respectively. The proposed device is provided sterile single use. The packaging materials used for the proposed UASS are commonly used materials for packaging medical devices and similar to the predicate devices. The device will be packaged in a labeled, single mylar and tyvek peel pouch, which will be placed in a labeled, paperboard shelf carton.

No
The device description focuses on mechanical components and materials, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No
The device facilitates the passage of instruments and fluids and creates a conduit, but it does not directly treat a disease or condition itself.

No

The device is described as facilitating the passage of instruments and injection of fluids, and creating a conduit for instruments. Its functions are mechanical (e.g., dilating, creating a channel), not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (dilator, sheath) made of materials like radiopaque and lubricous coated materials, and mentions packaging and sterilization. It is a physical medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used during a medical procedure (endoscopic procedures in the urinary tract) to facilitate the passage of instruments and inject fluids. This is an in vivo use, meaning it's used within the living body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device designed to create a conduit for instruments within the urinary tract. It's a tool used for access and delivery, not for analyzing samples taken from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to test or analyze biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide diagnostic information. IVDs are typically used to detect, measure, or identify substances or characteristics in these samples.

Therefore, the UASS is a medical device used for procedural access and instrument delivery, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

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.
