The Medline Latex Foley Catheter is intended to be used as a urological catheter inserted through the urethra for the purpose of draining urine and other fluids from the urinary tract.

Device Description

The Medline Latex Foley Catheter is a flexible tubular device manufactured from natural high grade latex. It is sterile as packaged and intended for single patient use. The Medline Latex Foley Catheter consists of two types (2-way & 3-way) of devices. These catheters constitute a double or triple lumen drainage tube with two opposing eyelets on the proximal tip. On the other end of the catheter shaft, the urine drains out into an appropriate collection device. The 3-way catheter has an additional set of eyelets for irrigation purposes. A silicon elastomer coating is applied to the catheter through a dipping process. The catheters are supplied in individually packaged, sealed single use poaches.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the Medline Latex Foley Catheter. This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device already on the market, rather than conducting new performance studies against specific acceptance criteria for the proposed device. Therefore, the information requested below regarding acceptance criteria and performance studies of the proposed device is largely not present in this document.

The document asserts substantial equivalence based on the predicate device's established performance and the identical nature of the materials, manufacturing, and intended use.

Here's an attempt to answer the questions based on the available information:

Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance

This document does not define specific acceptance criteria or report performance data for the proposed Medline Latex Foley Catheter. Instead, it relies on demonstrating that the proposed device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device (Foleycath NR Latex Balloon Catheter, K903777).

The "performance" demonstrated is that the proposed device is identical to the predicate in key characteristics, implying it will perform equivalently.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied by Substantial Equivalence)	Reported Device Performance (Proposed Device)
Intended Use matches predicate	Matches predicate
Patient Populations match predicate	Matches predicate
Types (2-way, 3-way) match predicate	Matches predicate
Size Range (Fr) matches predicate	Matches predicate
Balloon Capacity matches predicate	Matches predicate
Material (Natural rubber latex) matches predicate	Matches predicate
Coating (Silicone) matches predicate	Matches predicate
Manufacturing Method (including sterilization) matches predicate	Matches predicate
Biocompatibility status equivalent to predicate	Equivalent to predicate (well-established)

Study Details

Given the nature of a 510(k) submission based on substantial equivalence, a traditional "study" demonstrating the proposed device's performance against specific acceptance criteria was not conducted or reported here. The "study" is implicitly the comparison to the predicate device.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

Not applicable / Not provided. No new test set data was generated for the proposed device in this submission. The performance of the predicate device (K903777), referenced for its established performance and function, is not detailed here.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

Not applicable / Not provided. No new ground truth for a test set was established for the proposed device in this submission.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable / Not provided. No test set requiring expert adjudication was performed for the proposed device.

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

No. This device is a urological catheter, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool. Therefore, an MRMC study is not relevant.

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

No. This device is a urological catheter, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

Not applicable / Not provided for the proposed device. The "ground truth" for this submission is the established safety, effectiveness, and performance of the predicate device (K903777) based on its historical marketing approval and adherence to relevant standards.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable / Not provided. This is a medical device, not a machine learning algorithm.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable / Not provided. This is a medical device, not a machine learning algorithm.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - Medline Latex Foley Catheter

Device Description

JUL 1 8 2007

A Foley catheter is needed when normal urination is disrupted or it is necessary to keep track of urine production. The catheter is threaded through the urinary duct (urethra) and into the bladder. It is secured by means of a balloon at the tip which is inflated with sterile water after insertion. The Medline Latex Foley Catheter offers 3 different balloon sizes (3cc, 5cc, 30cc) and a wide range of catheter sizes to accommodate pediatric and adult applications (refer to table below). The relative size of the Foley catheter is described using French units (Fr). 1 Fr is equivalent to 0.33 mm or .013".

Discussion of similarities and differences:

The proposed Medline Latex Foley Catheter is identical in intended uses, function and mode of operation to the predicate device which received marketing approval under K903777.

There are no significant differences between the two products. As reflected in the table above, they include identical product lines which support the same patient populations. They are fabricated from the same materials and designed in a same fashion.

{2}------------------------------------------------

Biocompatibility / Sterilization

Per the Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, Format for Traditional and Abbreviated 510(k)s, August 12,2005, section 15 – "If identical materials are used in a predicate with the same type and duration of patient contact, you may identify the predicate in lieu of performing biocompatibility testing and state that your device is comprised of identical materials and that are processed by identical manufacturing methods."

As noted, this device is identical to that of WRP Foleycath (K903777). The manufacturing and sterilization methods remain unchanged. The history of the biocompatibility of these products is therefore well established.

The product is sterilized by a Gamma Irradiation method. Refer to attachment 2 for details of this process.

Summary of Performance Testing

The Medline Latex Foley Catheter referenced in this submission is held to the same design, manufacture, and performance specifications as the currently marketed predicate device (K903777). The predicate device was tested in accordance with relevant standards for performance and function.

Product Labeling

The labeling, dimensional drawings & promotional materials for this device can be found in Attachment 1.

Conclusions

In accordance with 21 CFR Part 807, and based on the information provided in this premarket notification, Medline Industries, Inc. concludes that the Medline Latex Foley Catheter is safe, effective and substantially equivalent as described herein.

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.
