Intended Use
The CareVent is intended for use with a Foley Urinary Catheter for the management of urinary drainage.
Device Description
The CareVent device is used with a Foley catheter for the management of urinary drainage. The CareVent offers the physician/user a means to temporarily control the flow of urine from the bladder. Temporary control of urine may be desired for bladder conditioning, diagnostic procedures or patient comfort. The CareVent valve is easily inserted into the distal end of a Foley catheter and may be left open for continuous drainage or manually operated for temporarily closure. The device is provided sterile and for single patient use.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on a mechanical valve for controlling urine flow and does not mention any computational or data-driven features indicative of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as "management of urinary drainage" and to "temporarily control the flow of urine from the bladder" for "bladder conditioning, diagnostic procedures or patient comfort," which are therapeutic applications.

No

The device description states "Temporary control of urine may be desired for bladder conditioning, diagnostic procedures or patient comfort." While it mentions "diagnostic procedures," the device itself is described as a valve to control urine flow, not to obtain or process diagnostic information. Its function is to manage drainage, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "CareVent valve" which is inserted into a Foley catheter, indicating a physical, hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "management of urinary drainage" with a Foley catheter. This is a mechanical function related to controlling the flow of urine, not for diagnosing a condition or analyzing a sample in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical mechanism of the valve to control urine flow. It doesn't mention any analysis of urine or other biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are typically used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The CareVent's function is purely mechanical and related to managing the physical flow of urine.

Dear Mr. Horn:

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 (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such 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.

Image /page/2/Picture/10 description: The image is a circular logo with the text "1906-2006" at the top. In the center of the logo is the acronym "FDA" in a bold, stylized font. Below the acronym is the word "Centennial" in a cursive font. There are three stars below the word "Centennial". The text "A Century of Protecting Your Health" surrounds the central elements of the logo.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter:
