The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and biocompatibility of a standard Foley catheter, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
No.
A therapeutic device is one that treats a disease or condition. This device is used for drainage, collection, and measurement of urine, which is a supportive function, not a treatment.
No
The device is described as a Foley Catheter intended for "drainage and/or collection and/or measurement of urine," which are therapeutic and measurement functions, not diagnostic. There is no mention of it being used to identify or characterize a disease or condition.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical, hardware-based medical device (a Foley catheter) with components like a shaft, eyelets, balloon, and lumens. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices 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 BARD® Vertus™ Foley Catheter is a device inserted into the body (in vivo) to drain and collect urine. It does not perform any testing or analysis of the urine itself.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "drainage and/or collection and/or measurement of urine." This is a mechanical function, not a diagnostic one.
The device is a medical device, but it falls under a different category than IVDs.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The BARD® Vertus™ Foley Catheter is intended for use in the drainage and/or collection and/or measurement of urine in adult and pediatric patients of compatible anatomical size. Drainage is accomplished by inserting the catheter through the urethra and into the bladder.

Device Description
The BARD® Vertus™ Foley Catheter is a biocompatible, hydrogel-coated, synthetic polyisoprene Foley catheter used in the drainage of urine. The catheter consists of a shaft with eyelets near the tip, balloon, drainage funnel and inflation arm with cap and valve. The eyelets allow for drainage of urine from the tip of the catheter through the drainage lumen. The balloon, once inflated, retains the catheter within the bladder. The shaft has two lumens: one to allow for urine drainage and the second for balloon inflation. The two-way valve, upon activation, permits flow in either direction and allows for inflation and deflation of the balloon. The cap retains the valve and provides identification for the catheter.
The catheter will be offered in multiple French sizes to accommodate differing patient anatomies. The product is provided sterile via ethylene oxide sterilized (per ISO 11135:2014, Sterilization of health care products - ethylene oxide - Requirements for development, validation and routine control of a sterilized process for medical devices).
The catheter is a single use, prescription-only device.

Dear Sharon Lambert:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.

Both devices are manufactured from synthetic polyisoprene which has similar properties to natural rubber latex. Both subject and predicate devices are hydrogel-coated and possess the same design features and indications for use. In conclusion, the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device and nonclinical test data demonstrate substantial equivalence.
Performance Data:
The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
Biocompatibility
The biocompatibility evaluation of the subject device was conducted in accordance with International Standard ISO 10993-1, Biological evaluation of medical devices and testing within a risk management process – July 21, 2016. The subject device is considered a mucosal contacting surface device with prolonged duration. The battery of testing included the following.
- Cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5 and AS/NZS 2696:1996) .
- Sensitization (ISO 10993-10) ●
- . Vaginal Mucosal Irritation (ISO 10993-10)
- . Systemic Toxicity (ISO 10993-11)
- . Sub-Acute Systemic Toxicity (ISO 10993-11)
- . Muscle Implantation (ISO 10993-6)
- . Genotoxicity (ISO 10993-3)
Non-clinical functional performance testing
Non-clinical functional performance testing of the subject device was performed in accordance with ASTM F623-99/(R)2013, Standard Performance Specification for Foley Catheter. Coefficient of friction (CoF) was also conducted for lubricity evaluation.
6
Conclusions:
The BARD® Vertus™ Foley Catheter is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device, BARD® LubriGuard™ Foley Catheter, as demonstrated by the same intended use, indications for use, and technological characteristics. Non-clinical performance data demonstrates that the subject device is safe and effective.
