2 Way SoftSimplastic Catheters:
Indicated where routine transurethral drainage of the bladder is required either postoperatively or for patients with conditions requiring transurethral urine drainage.
3 Way SoftSimplastic Catheters:
Indicated where routine transurethral drainage of the bladder is required either postoperatively, for patients with conditions requiring transurethral urine drainage and for patients requiring bladder irrigation.
The Rusch SoftSimplastic Foley Catheter is a balloon retention type catheter and is single use, disposable and sterile. The catheters are made of transparent PVC. They have a 2 lumen or 3 lumen shaft with proximal funnel, inflation valve and a distal retaining balloon made of latex. Balloon capacity is in ml and the shaft size in French gauge (Fr.) as indicated on the funnel of each individual catheter.
The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device, the Rusch SoftSimplastic Foley Catheter, not an AI/ML medical device. Therefore, the information required to answer the prompt regarding acceptance criteria and studies for an AI/ML device (e.g., sample size for test/training sets, expert qualifications, ground truth establishment, MRMC studies) is not present in the document.
The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Rusch Simplastic Foley Catheters) based on:
- Intended Use: Similar indications for use for bladder drainage and irrigation.
- Technological Characteristics: Similar balloon retention type, materials (PVC), sizes, lumens, sterilization method, single-use, and radiopacity. The key differences highlighted are a change in PVC plasticizer, extended shelf life, and slightly different size ranges.
- Non-Clinical Performance Testing: This includes:
- Biocompatibility testing (e.g., cytotoxicity, sensitization, systemic toxicity, implantation) according to ISO 10993 standards.
- Bench performance testing (e.g., visual inspections, strength, connector security, balloon safety, flow rate, kink stability, tensile force, radiopacity) according to ISO 20696, ASTM F623, and ASTM F640 standards.
- Sterilization and Packaging validation according to ISO 11135-1, ISO 10993-7, ISO 11607, ASTM D4169, ASTM F1886, ASTM F88, EN 868-5, and ASTM F2096.
The document explicitly states: "Differences in technological characteristics between the subject and predicate devices do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness." and "Performance test results demonstrate that the subject device is as safe and effective as the predicate device."
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and studies for an AI/ML device based on the provided text. The document pertains to a traditional medical device demonstrating substantial equivalence through non-clinical bench and biocompatibility testing, not an AI/ML algorithm requiring clinical performance studies against defined ground truth with human reader involvement.

Dear Kelley Breheim:
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.
{1}------------------------------------------------
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-regulatoryinformation/postmarketing-safety-reporting-combination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) 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.

Conclusion
The Rusch SoftSimplastic Foley Catheter has the same intended use, technological characteristics, and construction as its predicate, with the exception of different PVC plasticizer material. Performance test results demonstrate that the subject device is as safe and effective as the predicate device. The Rusch SoftSimplastic Foley Catheter is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
