The device description focuses on mechanical components and their function in a surgical procedure, with no mention of AI/ML terms or data processing.
Yes
The device is intended for the treatment of symptoms due to urinary outflow obstruction, which is a therapeutic purpose. It directly intervenes to improve urinary flow by expanding the urethral lumen.
No
The device is described as a system for treating symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia by delivering implants to hold the urethra in an expanded position, indicating a therapeutic rather than diagnostic function.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components (Delivery Handle, Implant Cartridges, Implants) and a surgical procedure involving insertion and deployment of these components. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the treatment of symptoms due to urinary outflow obstruction secondary to BPH. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test.
- Device Description: The device is a system of instruments and implants designed to physically alter the prostatic urethra to improve urine flow. It does not involve the analysis of biological samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) to diagnose a condition or provide information about a patient's health status.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The UroLift System is a surgical/interventional device used for treatment.

Device Description
The UroLift System UL500 is comprised of the UroLift® Delivery Handle (single patient resusable), the UroLift Implant Cartridges (single-use) and the UroLift Implants (one implant per cartridge). Each patient procedure will use one dedicated sterile handle and the number of cartridges/implants necessary to perform a successful procedure (estimated 2-6 implants). The cartridges fit into the delivery handle.
The UroLift System UL500 is designed to access the prostatic urethra and deliver one UroLift Implant through a lateral lobe of the prostate. The UroLift System UL500 is inserted into the urethra through the penile orifice and used to displace the urethra toward the prostatic capsule. The UroLift Implant is then deployed transversely through the prostatic tissue. The implants secure the retracted position of the urethra thereby maintaining an expanded urethral lumen, reducing fluid obstruction and improving LUTS. This is accomplished by holding the approximated position of the inner (urethral) tissue and the outer (capsular) tissue of the prostate with the UroLift Implant.

Testing conducted on the modified UroLift System UL500 demonstrated that the device meets the same performance requirements of the predicate device. The changes made to the device do not affect the implant deployment procedure. Therefore, the modified UroLift System UL500 can be utilized in the same manner as the predicate device.

Device Description
The UroLift System UL500 is comprised of the UroLift® Delivery Handle (single patient resusable), the UroLift Implant Cartridges (single-use) and the UroLift Implants (one implant per cartridge). Each patient procedure will use one dedicated sterile handle and the number of cartridges/implants necessary to perform a successful procedure (estimated 2-6 implants). The cartridges fit into the delivery handle.
The UroLift System UL500 is designed to access the prostatic urethra and deliver one UroLift Implant through a lateral lobe of the prostate. The UroLift System UL500 is inserted into the urethra through the penile orifice and used to displace the urethra toward the prostatic capsule. The UroLift Implant is then deployed transversely through the prostatic tissue. The implants secure the retracted position of the urethra thereby maintaining an expanded urethral lumen, reducing fluid obstruction and improving LUTS. This is accomplished by holding the approximated position of the inner (urethral) tissue and the outer (capsular) tissue of the prostate with the UroLift Implant.
Comparison with the Predicate Device
Minor modifications have been made to the UroLift System UL500 to improve reliability and manufacturability of the device. The overall design, as well as the patient contacting materials, is equivalent to the predicate device.
The UroLift System UL500 described in this submission is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in that they share the same intended use and employ the same technology characteristics. The UroLift Implant is identical to the predicate device.
Performance Testing
Testing conducted on the modified UroLift System UL500 demonstrated that the device meets the same performance requirements of the predicate device. The changes made to the device do not affect the implant deployment procedure. Therefore, the modified UroLift System UL500 can be utilized in the same manner as the predicate device.
Conclusion
The modified UroLift System UL500 is as safe and effective, has the same intended use, technological characteristics and principles of operation as the predicate device. The difference in the Delivery Handle and Implant Cartridge between the modified and predicate device do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness. Therefore, the modified UroLift System UL500 is substantially equivalent.
