No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and mechanical performance of a ureteral stent, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
Yes
The device is indicated to "relieve obstruction in a variety of benign, malignant and post-traumatic conditions in the ureter," which clearly indicates a therapeutic purpose.
No
This device is a ureteral stent, which is a therapeutic device designed to relieve obstruction in the ureter. It is not used to diagnose a medical condition.
No
The device description clearly details a physical, implantable medical device made of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, with specific dimensions and features for insertion into the ureter. It undergoes sterilization and bench performance testing related to its physical properties.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The Dornier CASCADE Ureteral Stent is a physical device designed to be implanted into the ureter to relieve obstruction. Its function is mechanical and structural, not diagnostic. It does not analyze biological samples to provide diagnostic information.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: The description focuses on the physical properties of the stent, its placement techniques, and its purpose in maintaining patency of the ureter. There is no mention of any diagnostic capability or analysis of biological samples.
Therefore, the Dornier CASCADE Ureteral Stent is a medical device, but it falls under the category of an implantable or interventional device, not an in vitro diagnostic.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Dornier CASCADE Ureteral Stent is indicated to relieve obstruction in a variety of benign, malignant and post-traumatic conditions in the ureter such as presence of stones and/or stone fragments, or other ureteral obstructions such as those associated with ureteral stricture, carcinoma of abdominal organs, retroperitoneal fibrosis or ureteral trauma, or in association with Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL). The stent may be placed using endoscopic surgical techniques or percutaneously using standard radiographic technique.

Device Description
The Dornier CASCADE Ureteral Stents are sterile, single-use devices. The stents are available in 4.9 to 8.0 French (Fr) diameter, with lengths ranging from 14.0 to 32.0 centimeters (cm). The stents are constructed of a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer. The base polyurethane material is compounded with BaSO4 to render the stent radiopaque under x-ray fluoroscopy.
Drainage holes extend along the body of the stent as well as on the pigtails to provide drainage. The stents are secured in the urinary tract with pigtail loops on the proximal and distal ends. A monofilament tether for repositioning and removal of the device is located on the proximal pigtail (bladder end) of the stent. Along the stent are graduation marks to provide visualization during stent advancement and placement. The CASCADE Ureteral Stent includes a pigtail straightener, a small polymer tube to aid in placement over a wire guide. The pigtail straightener is removed prior to use. The CASCADE Ureteral Stents are labeled for a maximum 30day indwell time.
The stents are packaged into a pre-formed tray and sealed within a Tyvek pouch. The individually sealed Tyvek pouches are labeled with identification labeling and then packaged into a corrugated shipping box. The packaged stents are sterilized by a contract sterilizer using ethylene oxide.

Summary of Performance Studies
The CASCADE Ureteral Stent was subjected to the following tests to assure design and performance under the specified testing parameters:
- Sterilization validation
- Shelf life, including packaging validation and functional performance testing
- Biocompatibility
- Stent: cytotoxicity, skin sensitization, skin irritation, acute systemic toxicity, material-mediated pyrogenicity, genotoxicity (Ames bacterial reverse mutation, in vitro mouse lymphoma assay), and implantation studies (2week, muscular), 13-weeks subcutaneous implantation, and chemical characterization followed by the risk assessment of extractables with the stent
- Pusher: cytotoxicity, skin sensitization, skin irritation, acute systemic toxicity and material-mediated pyrogenicity
- Bench Performance Testing, including visual inspection, dimensional analysis, pigtail retention, suture retention, coefficient of friction, tensile strength, elongation, radiopacity, and flow rate.
The performance and functional testing are based on the FDA guidance "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Notifications for Ureteral Stents" and the ASTM F1828-17, "Standard Specifications for Ureteral Stents." All testing was found to be acceptable and bench performance testing comparable to the predicate device.

Dear John Hoffer:
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.
