More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a standard intermittent urinary catheter made of conventional materials, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML applications in medical devices. The performance studies focus on biocompatibility, which is standard for this type of device.

No
The device is described as an intermittent urinary catheter for bladder drainage, which is a supportive or assistive function, not a therapeutic treatment for a disease or condition.

No

The device is an intermittent urinary catheter used for bladder drainage, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical catheter made of conventional medical grade materials, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Cure Catheter™ Function: The Cure Catheter™ is a device inserted into the body (through the urethra) for the purpose of physically draining the bladder. It does not analyze or test any biological samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "bladder drainage," which is a physical intervention, not a diagnostic test.

Therefore, the Cure Catheter™ falls under the category of a medical device used for a therapeutic or procedural purpose, not an in vitro diagnostic purpose.

Dear Mr. Conry:

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 individe for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commence 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 ano rice. The general 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 or seal. The text "1906-2006" is at the top of the logo. The letters "FDA" are in the center of the logo. The word "Centennial" is below the letters "FDA".

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements not the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

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 10gal/y marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, persons 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:
