Intended Use
The Cure Catheter ® Hydrophilic Coated is an intermittent urinary catheter that is inserted through the urethra and indicated for the purpose of bladder drainage. The urinary catheter comes in a variety of sizes, packaged sterile for single-use.
Device Description
The Cure Catheter ™ Hydrophilic Coated is an intermittent urinary catheter intended to be used by adult and pediatric males and females for the purpose of bladder drainage. The catheter is manufactured with conventional medical grade PVC. The surface is coated with a hydrophilic low-friction coating (polyvinyl pyrrolidone, or PVP) and, when activated with water it becomes slippery and ready to use. The straight and Coudè tip configurations have been designed to eliminate trauma to the urethra and are offered in a variety of sizes. Each catheter is provided in sterile, single-use packages.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the physical properties and intended use of a conventional intermittent urinary catheter, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
This device is an intermittent urinary catheter used for bladder drainage, which is a supportive function rather than a therapeutic treatment for disease.

No

The device is described as an intermittent urinary catheter for bladder drainage, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical intermittent urinary catheter made of PVC with a hydrophilic coating, which is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to diagnose, monitor, or screen for various health issues.
  • Device Function: The Cure Catheter is a physical device inserted into the body (urethra) for the purpose of draining the bladder. It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "for the purpose of bladder drainage," which is a physical intervention, not a diagnostic process.

Therefore, the Cure Catheter falls under the category of a medical device used for treatment/management, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. John Beasley:

We have reviewed vour 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

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.

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 of 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); medical device reporting (reporting of medical
