Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study data provided for the UroGen Ureteral Catheter:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The submission does not explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria in a dedicated table. Instead, it lists the types of tests performed and indicates that they were "successfully completed" or "addressed by bench testing and validation." The implicit acceptance criterion for each test is that the device must meet the requirements of the referenced standard or, in the case of an internal standard, perform as intended without raising safety or effectiveness concerns.
| Test Category | Standard / Internal Standard | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Biocompatibility | ISO 10993 (various parts) | Successfully passed Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, Irritation. |
| Bench Tests | ||
| Flow rate | ISO 10555, ASTM F623-99 | Successfully completed. |
| Kinking | EN 13868 | Successfully completed. |
| Peak Tensile Force | ISO 10555-1, EN1618 | Successfully completed. |
| Connector security | EN 1616 | Successfully completed. |
| Luer Hub Performance | ISO 594 | Successfully completed. |
| Hub Liquid Leakage | ISO 594 | Successfully completed. |
| Sterilization, Shelf Life, Packaging | ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11135, AAMI/ISO 11138, ISO 10993, EN 1422 | Successfully completed. |

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not specify the exact sample sizes used for each individual test. It generally states that "testing was conducted." The provenance of the data is from laboratory testing and not from human patient data (retrospective or prospective). The location of the testing laboratories is not specified, but the applicant's address is Ra'anana, Israel, and New York, NY, USA.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
This information is not applicable to this submission. The "ground truth" for device performance in this context is established by the technical specifications of the referenced standards and internal engineering specifications, not by expert interpretation of clinical data or images.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This information is not applicable. Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are typically used for clinical study data where multiple experts assess the same cases. For device bench testing, the assessment is based on objective measurements and compliance with predefined technical criteria from standards.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for AI/imaging devices where human readers interpret medical images. This submission describes a physical medical device (catheter) and its bench testing.
6. If a Standalone Study (algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This concept is not directly applicable. The device itself is a standalone physical product. The performance studies described are essentially "standalone" in the sense that they evaluate the device's physical properties and functionality without human patient interaction during the tests described.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for the performance of the UroGen Ureteral Catheter in these studies relates to:
- Compliance with International Standards: The device's performance is compared against the established specifications and requirements outlined in internationally recognized standards (e.g., ISO 10993, ISO 10555, ASTM F623-99, EN 13868, EN 1616, ISO 594, ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11135, AAMI/ISO 11138, EN 1422).
- Internal Standard Specifications: For the "Instillation force test," an internal standard was used, implying predefined engineering specifications for acceptable performance.
- Safety and Effectiveness Principles: The ultimate "ground truth" for regulatory clearance is that the device is as safe and effective as its predicate device without raising new safety or effectiveness concerns.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This information is not applicable. "Training sets" are relevant for machine learning or AI models. The UroGen Ureteral Catheter is a physical medical device, and its design and manufacturing process do not involve a training set in the context of AI.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
This information is not applicable, as there is no training set for this device.

3. PREDICATE DEVICES
Primary predicate:
- Backstop Catheter, by Pluromed, Inc., product code KOD; cleared under K110491 . Reference devices:
- . Ureteral Catheter, by Boston Scientific, product code: GBM; cleared under K830840
{4}------------------------------------------------
4. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The device is a single use ureteral catheter, designed to assist in access to the upper urinary tract using standard endoscopic technique for drainage and delivery of gels or fluids. The catheter is indicated for use by physicians for facilitating access to the urinary tract through a retrograde route and may be used in conjunction with a guidewire or for the injection of gels or fluids into the urinary tract.
The catheter is supplied sterile in a Tyvek pouch with a sterilization indicator. The catheter is inserted into the body for a typical duration of less than 1 hour. The catheter is placed over a guidewire of up to 0.038 inches in diameter that is prepositioned through the urological tract.
5. INDICATIONS FOR USE
The UroGen Ureteral Catheter is indicated for use by physicians for facilitating access to the urinary tract through a retrograde route and may be used in conjunction with a guidewire or for the injection of gels or fluids into the urinary tract.
6. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE
The UroGen Ureteral Catheter has similar technological characteristics as its predicate devices. The main difference between the UroGen Ureteral Catheter and other FDA cleared ureteral catheters is that in the UroGen Catheter, the Luer lock is glued to the catheter body. This allows the UroGen Ureteral Catheter to withstand higher pressures associated with the delivery of fluids with varying viscosities. This minor technological difference was tested to ensure the device functions as intended and does not raise new safety or effectiveness concerns.
7. PERFORMANCE DATA
Below is a list of the tests that have been performed and successfully completed for the UroGen Ureteral Catheter.
Biocompatibility:
Testing was conducted in accordance with FDA guidance: Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process". The Catheter underwent the following GLP biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993: Cytotoxicity, Sensitization and Irritation.
Bench: Test (Standard)
- Flow rate (ISO 10555, ASTM F623-99) -
- Kinking (EN 13868) -
- Peak Tensile Force (ISO 10555-1, EN1618) -
- Connector security (EN 1616) -
- Luer Hub Performance (ISO 594) -
- Hub Liquid Leakage (ISO 594) -
{5}------------------------------------------------
- Sterilization, Shelf Life and Packaging (ANSI/AAMI/ ISO 11135, -AAMI/ISO 11138, ISO 10993 and EN 1422)
- Instillation force test (Internal Standard) -
Conclusion:
The UroGen Ureteral Catheter has similar indications for use as the Backstop predicate device and is substantially equivalent in technological and performance characteristics to the predicate device.
Consequently, it is concluded that the UroGen Ureteral Catheter is as safe and effective as its predicate device without raising any new safety and/or effectiveness concerns. Any differences have been addressed by bench testing and validation and therefore negate any safety or effectiveness concerns.
