No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and biocompatibility of a standard intermittent catheter, with no mention of AI or ML.
No
The device is used to drain urine from the bladder by insertion into the urethra, which is a functional purpose rather than a therapeutic one. It facilitates a physiological process that the user is unable to perform naturally.
No.
The device, an intermittent catheter, is used to facilitate urine drainage from the bladder, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical catheter made of polyvinyl chloride with different tip configurations and coatings, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, the BEVER™ intermittent catheter is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The BEVER™ catheter's intended use is to physically drain urine from the bladder, not to analyze the urine or any other bodily fluid for diagnostic purposes.
- The device description focuses on the physical characteristics and function of the catheter for drainage. There is no mention of reagents, analytical methods, or any components designed for testing or analyzing biological samples.
- The performance studies described are related to biocompatibility and packaging integrity, not the analytical performance of a diagnostic test.
The BEVER™ intermittent catheter is a medical device used for a therapeutic purpose (draining the bladder), not a diagnostic purpose.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The BEVER™ intermittent catheter is indicated for intermittent catheterization of the urethra for those individuals who are unable to promote a natural urine flow or for those individuals who have a significant volume of residual urine following a natural bladder -voiding episode. The catheter is inserted into urethra to reach the bladder allowing urine to drain.

Device Description
BEVERTM Intermittent Catheter is sterile, single use device to be designed as an intermittent pathway for drainage of the bladder. It is available for men, women and children, in uncoated and coated variants and in two different tip configurations of Nelaton (straight and rounded) and Tiemann (curved and tapered) respectively. There are two polished drainage eyelets on the catheter in various configurations and types.
The uncoated catheter consists of a tubular polyvinyl chloride catheter shaft with attached a drainage funnel. The catheter is available in sizes 6Fr ~ 22Fr in 2Fr increments for Nelaton-tip and sizes 8Fr ~ 22Fr in 2Fr increments for Tiemann-tip.
The coated catheter consists of a tubular polyvinyl chloride catheter shaft, coated with a hydrophilic low-friction coating, with attached a drainage funnel, and a sterile water packet is placed in the package. The surface of coated catheter is hydrophilic and when the coated catheter is activated with the sterile water in the attached water packet, it becomes slippery and thus reduces friction against the urethra. This allows the coated catheter to slide in and out of the urethra in the most comfortable way, And, just as importantly, there's less risk of long-term complications from the repeated friction of self-catheterizing. The coated catheter is available in sizes 6Fr ~ 22Fr in 2Fr increments for Nelaton-tip and sizes 8Fr ~ 22Fr in 2Fr increments for Tiemann-tip.

a) Test for in vitro cytotoxicity (MTT cytotoxicity test)
An in vitro cytotoxicity study was conducted to assess the potential for cytotoxicity of the test article, Intermittent Catheter, based on the International Organization for Standardization ISO 10993-5:2009: Biological evaluation of medical devices-Part 5:Tests for in vitro cytotoxicity; ISO 10993-12:2007; Biological evaluation of medical devices-Part 12: Sample preparation and reference materials.
Four concentrations (100%, 75%, and 25%) of the test article extracts, the blank control, 100% of the negative control and the positive control were prepared using Minimum Essential Medium (MEM) supplemented with 10% calf serum. The semi-confluent monolayers of L-929 mouse fibroblast cells were incubated with the test extract and other three controls, supplemented with 10% calf serum in a 96-well microplate respectively at 37℃ under the condition of 5% CO2.. At 24h, the MTT
colorimetric assay was employed and plate was read on a microplate reader at 570 and 650nm. The viability of the cells was calculated.
Under the conditions of this study, the viability of 100% extract of the test article was 86%, it had not a cytotoxic potential.
b) Test for irritation (vaginal irritation test)
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the potential irritation response of the extract of the test article, Intermittent Catheter contact with vaginal tissue. This study was conducted based on the requirements for the International Organization for Standardization ISO 10993-10:2010: Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 10: Tests for irritation and skin sensitization: ISO 10993-12:2007: Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 12: Sample preparation and reference materials.
The test extract were contacted with vaginal tissue 1 time (once a day) directly for five consecutive days. At 24h after the final treatment, the tissues were examined macro- scopically and microscopically. The irritant effects on vaginal tissue were evaluated and scored.
Under the conditions of this study, the macroscopic reaction of test extract was relatively similar to that of the reagent control. Microscopically, the extract of the test article was classified as a non- irritant as compared to the control.
c) Test for skin sensitization (Maximization test)
A guinea pig maximization test of the test article, Intermittent Catheter, was conducted to evaluate the skin sensitizing potential. This study was based on the International Organization for Standardization ISO 10993-10:2010: Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 10: Tests for irritation and skin sensitization; ISO 10993-12:2007: Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 12: Sample preparation and reference materials.

The test article was extracted in 0.9% sodium chloride solution (SC) and cotton seed oil (CSO). Each extract was injected intradermally and patched occlusively to ten test guinea pigs (per extract) in an attempt to induce sensitization. The vehicle was similarly injected and patched occlusively to five control guinea pigs (per vehicle). Following a recovery period, the test and control animals were received a challenge patch of the appropriated test article extract and the reagent control. All sites were scored at 24h and 48h after patch removal,
Under the conditions of this study, the SC and CSO extracts of the test article showed no evidence of causing sensitization in the guinea pig.
9.2 Packaging Shipment Testing was performed based on ISTA Procedure 2A
2 pieces of packaged-products were submitted for the packaging shipment testing in accordance with ISTA Procedure 2A. After all tests completed, no tearing was observed on the inner packaging and outer packaging.
