The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics, materials, and function of a standard intermittent catheter, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
Yes
The device is used for intermittent catheterization to facilitate urine flow or drain residual urine from the bladder, which is a therapeutic intervention for individuals unable to do so naturally.
No
The device is an intermittent catheter, indicated for draining urine from the bladder, not for diagnosing a condition.
No
The device description clearly details a physical catheter made of medical-grade materials, available in different sizes and configurations, with or without a hydrophilic coating. This is a hardware device, not software.
Based on the provided information, the ThinkMed Intermittent Catheter with/without Hydrophilic Coating is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
- ThinkMed Catheter Function: The ThinkMed Intermittent Catheter is a device that is physically inserted into the body (the urethra) to drain urine directly from the bladder. It is a therapeutic and diagnostic tool used within the body (in vivo) for a physical procedure.
- No Specimen Testing: The description does not mention any testing of urine or other bodily fluids outside of the body using this device. Its purpose is drainage, not analysis of a specimen.
Therefore, the ThinkMed Intermittent Catheter falls under the category of a medical device used for a physical intervention, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The ThinkMed Intermittent Catheter with/without Hydrophilic Coating 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
ThinkMed Intermittent Catheter is sterile, single use device to be designed as an intermittent pathway for drainage of the bladder. It is available for male and female, 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 is manufactured with conventional medical grade, latex-free, biocompatible materials. it is consists of a tubular catheter shaft with attached a drainage funnel.
The catheter is available in sizes 6Fr to 22Fr for Nelaton-tip and sizes 8Fr to 22Fr for Tiemann-tip.
The coated catheter is manufactured with conventional medical grade, latex-free, biocompatible materials. Coated with a hydrophilic low-friction coating, with attached a drainage funnel. The surface of coated catheter is hydrophilic and when the coated catheter is activated with the sterile water, 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. The coated catheter is available in sizes 6Fr to 22Fr for Nelaton-tip and sizes 8Fr to 22Fr for Tiemann-tip.
