More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical medical device (catheter) with a design feature (curved) for ease of use. There is no mention of software, data processing, or any terms related to AI/ML.

Yes
The device is used for female intermittent self-catheterization of the bladder, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
Explanation: The device is used for intermittent self-catheterization of the bladder, which is a therapeutic or management function, not a diagnostic one. It facilitates a medical procedure rather than identifying a disease or condition.

No

The description clearly indicates the device is a physical catheter used for intermittent self-catheterization, which 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 is for "female intermittent self-catheterization of the bladder." This is a procedure performed directly on the patient's body to drain urine, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: While the description is "Not Found," the intended use clearly indicates a physical device for insertion into the body.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing samples (like blood, urine, tissue), performing tests, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device's function is purely mechanical and therapeutic (draining the bladder).

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.
