The summary describes a physical medical device (ureteral stent) and its accessories, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any AI/ML related terms or concepts. The performance studies focus on physical properties and functionality, not algorithmic performance.
Yes
The device is intended to facilitate drainage from the kidney to the bladder, which is a therapeutic function addressing a physiological need.
No
The device, a ureteral stent, is intended to facilitate drainage, which is a therapeutic function, not the diagnosis of a medical condition.
No
The device description explicitly lists physical components (Ureteral Stent, Positioner, Pigtail Straightener) and the performance studies focus on physical properties and testing (dimensions, tensile strength, functional tests, packaging, biocompatibility, sterility). This indicates it is a physical medical device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "facilitate drainage from the kidney to the bladder". This is a therapeutic and procedural function, not a diagnostic one. IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description: The components listed (stent, positioner, straightener) are all physical devices used for placement and drainage within the body. They do not involve the analysis of biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, performing tests on bodily fluids or tissues, or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.
The device is a medical device used for a surgical/procedural purpose, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

Dear Justin Kapitan:
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. You must comply with all the Act's

requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).

SECTION 5
510K SUMMARY
E. Model Name
Tria™ Soft Ureteral Stent
F. Device(s) Description
The Tria Soft Ureteral Stent consists of the following:
- Tria™ Soft Ureteral Stent with retrieval line ●
- Ureteral Stent Positioner
- Pigtail Straightener ●
F. Intended Use/Indications for Use
The Ureteral Stent is intended to facilitate drainage from the kidney to the bladder via placement endoscopically, fluoroscopically or during an open surgical procedure by a trained physician.
G. Technological Characteristics Compared to Predicate
The principles of operation are identical between the predicate and subject devices: The Tria Soft Ureteral Stent provides a lumen that allows fluids to move from the kidney to the bladder.
The difference between the subject device and the predicate is a minor material change to support the lower durometer of the proposed device.
The technological characteristics remain equivalent to the predicate device because the modifications that are the subject of this submission are limited to improvements to the existing design.
The proposed changes do not change the intended use nor fundamentally change the scientific technology of the device, and do not change the indications for use of the device.
H. Substantial Equivalence
The modified Tria Soft Ureteral Stent is substantially equivalent to the predicate Tria Firm Ureteral Stent (K190603). It has the same intended use for facilitating drainage from the kidney to the bladder and the same indications for use. The design and principles of operation remain the same.
I. Biocompatibility
Biocompatibility testing was performed to show that all patient contacting materials meet applicable biocompatibility standards per ISO 10993-1:2009 and the FDA guidance: Use of
5
SECTION 5
510K SUMMARY
International Standard ISO 10993-1 "Biological evaluation of medical devices. Evaluation and testing within a risk management process."
The following testing was performed with passing results to support the biocompatibility of the device:
- . Cytotoxicity
- Sensitization ●
- Irritation ●
- Accute Systemic Toxicity ●
- . Materials Mediated Pyrogenicity
- . Implantation
- Chemical Characterization with Toxicological Risk Assessment (used to address systemic endpoints)
J. Performance Testing
The modifications to the subject Tria Soft Ureteral Stent have been tested in the same manner as the predicate to ensure compliance to the initial specifications. Based on the change assessment including risk analysis, the following design verification tests were repeated. The test methods used were the same as those submitted for the predicate.
- Dimensions
- . Tensile strength tests
- Full Functional tests ●
- Packaging tests .
- Biocompatibility ●
- . Sterility
The device continues to be sterilized by ethylene oxide (EO) to an SAL 106 level.
The conclusion of the assessments demonstrates that the modified device continues to function as intended in a manner equivalent to the predicate device. The modified device raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness compared to the predicate.
K. Conclusion
Based on the test data, the same intended use, and same indications for use, the modified Tria Soft Ureteral Stent is substantially equivalent to its predicate, K190603.
