The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics, materials, and packaging of a standard intermittent catheter. There is no mention of any computational analysis, algorithms, or learning processes that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
No.
The device is used for draining urine from the bladder, which is a management tool for urinary incontinence, not a therapeutic treatment.
No.
The device is described as an intermittent catheter used for draining urine from the bladder, which is a therapeutic function rather than a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components such as a catheter, eyelets, protective sleeve, introducer tip, funnel, and packaging with a water compartment. This indicates a hardware-based medical device, not a software-only one.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
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).
- Device Function: The VaPro™ Pocket intermittent catheter is a device that is inserted into the body (specifically, the urethra and bladder) to drain urine. It is a therapeutic device used for managing urinary incontinence, not a diagnostic tool that analyzes a sample.
The description clearly states its purpose is to drain urine from the bladder, which is a direct intervention on the body, not an analysis of a bodily fluid sample.

Device Description
The VaPro Pocket intermittent catheter is a single use catheter to be used as a means of managing urinary incontinence by draining urine from the bladder. The catheter has the following elements: ∑ hydrophilic-coated PVC catheter (phthalate free) ∑ 2 smooth catheter eyelets ∑ protective sleeve ∑ protective introducer tip as a way to shield the sterile catheter from bacteria in the distal urethra during insertion ∑ color coded funnel The packaging contains a sealed water compartment chamber of which the water migrates to the catheter compartment and lubricates the catheter. The outer packaging was designed to be discreet, easy to store, easy to open and facilitate access to the catheter. This product does not utilize a collection bag.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Performance Testing:
There have been no changes to the device, only to the packaging. Therefore, no new biocompatibility testing was performed. For biocompatibility testing on the device in accordance with ISO 10993, please refer to 510(k) K141642.
Biocompatibility testing was performed on the new packaging. This report is available upon request. All results were satisfactory.
Sterility testing was performed using Gamma Irradiation in accordance with Method 1 validation per ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137-1:2006 & -2:2013. All results were satisfactory.
Package integrity testing was performed to verify the maintenance of the sterile barrier through shelf life. The testing concluded that VaPro Pocket packaging is capable of maintaining a sterile barrier for at least two years.
Transportation testing was performed in order to verify that there is no impact to the safety or efficacy of the catheter performance. The test produced successful results.
Conclusion: Based on the performance testing conducted it is concluded that the modified device, VaPro Pocket, is as safe and effective and performs equivalent to the predicate device.

Dear Jeanne Lee,
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 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.
