The rectal catheter is non-sterile, intended for single-use, and packaged and labeled accordingly. The other components may be used multiple times; usage guidelines are detailed in the labeling. All System components are also provided separately in various accessory packages.
The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the Peristeen™ Anal Irrigation System. It states that no changes have been made to the device design, materials, components, technological characteristics or manufacturing processes of the subject device compared to the predicate. The only change being effected is the release of an updated Instructions For Use (IFU).
Therefore, the document explicitly states: "As such, testing for Performance, Shelf Life and Biocompatibility was not deemed necessary to support substantial equivalence. No clinical testing was performed, referenced, or relied on in the 510(k) for a determination of substantial equivalence."
Because no new performance testing was conducted for this submission, the document does not contain the information required to answer the questions about acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria.
