No
The summary describes a physical catheter for drainage and navigation, with no mention of software, image processing, or AI/ML terms.

No
The device is used to facilitate drainage and retrograde pyelogram, which are diagnostic and facilitative procedures, not therapeutic treatments for a disease or condition.

No
The device is described as facilitating drainage and retrograde pyelogram, which are procedures, not diagnostic functions of the device itself. It also allows access and navigation, which are assistive functions during a procedure, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical catheter comprised of a shaft and flexible tip, indicating it is a hardware medical device.

Based on the provided information, the Bard® TigerTail™ Ureteral Catheter is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "facilitate drainage and retrograde pyelogram of the upper urinary tract" and "allow access to and navigation of a torturous ureter using standard endoscopic techniques." This describes a device used within the body for a medical procedure, not a test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical catheter used for insertion into the urinary tract.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostic tests.

Therefore, the Bard® TigerTail™ Ureteral Catheter is a medical device used for a procedural purpose, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Harrison:

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 adultcration.

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.
