Intended Use

The 2-Way 100% Silicone ClearTract Catheter is intended for drainage of the urinary tract. Catheterization is accomplished by inserting the catheter through the urethra and into the bladder. Intended population is adults and pediatrics.

Device Description

The 2-Way 100% Silicone ClearTract Catheter (previously known as the HDX 100% Silicone 2-Way Foley Catheter) is a standard single-use 2-way Foley catheter that is constructed of medical grade silicone with a surface modification. It incorporates two (2) lumens, one for inflation/deflation of the balloon and the other for drainage of the urinary tract. The drainage inlet is located distal to the catheter's balloon. The connection to the urinary bag is a standard non-interconnectable connector.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called the "2-Way 100% Silicone ClearTract Catheter." It is not for an AI/ML medical device, and therefore does not contain information about acceptance criteria or studies pertaining to AI/ML device performance.

The document states:

  • "The renamed 2-Way 100% Silicone ClearTract Catheter has not been modified in any way. It is exactly the same as the HDX 100% Silicone 2-Way Catheter cleared under 510(k) premarket notification K192034."
  • "This special 510(k) premarket notification only proposes an update to the product labeling."
  • "No physical changes or modifications are proposed to the cleared device."

Instead, it discusses bench testing (friction testing based on ASTM D1894-14) to support the addition of information about a "surface modification that reduces surface friction" to the device's labeling. This is a physical characteristic of the catheter itself, not a performance metric of an AI/ML algorithm.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information about acceptance criteria or studies for an AI/ML device based on this document. The document describes a traditional medical device (a catheter) and a regulatory submission for a labeling change, not an AI/ML product.

Dear Sigi Caron:

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.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).

SUMMARY OF MODIFICATIONS

This special 510(k) premarket notification only proposes an update to the product labeling. The following information has been added to the Instructions For Use:

Device description - "The 2-Way 100% Silicone ClearTract Catheter is a standard singleuse 2-way Foley catheter that is constructed of medical grade silicone with a surface modification. It incorporates two (2) lumens, one for inflation/deflation of the balloon and the other for drainage of the urinary tract."

Performance Characteristics - "The surface of the ClearTract Catheter has a surface modification that reduces surface friction."

No physical changes or modifications are proposed to the cleared device.

PERFORMANCE STANDARDS:

No performance standards have been established by the Agency to date that apply to this device.

SUMMARY OF NONCLINICAL TESTING:

The following bench testing was performed to support the additional information added to the product labeling:

  • Friction testing based on ASTM D1894-14 which demonstrates a significant reduction in the coefficient of friction between the untreated and treated silicone surface.

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE - COMPARISON TO PREDICATE DEVICE

The 2-Way 100% Silicone ClearTract Catheter has not been modified in any way. It is exactly the same as the HDX 100% Silicone 2-Way Catheter cleared under 510(k) premarket notification K192034. Following is the SE Table.

CONCLUSION:

All changes were made in compliance with 21 CFR 820.30 for design controls. Based on a risk assessment, the proposed additions to the labeling do not change or add new risks to the CleartTract catheter. All performance bench testing was successfully completed and provided objective evidence on the performance characteristics of the ClearTract catheter. The ClearTract catheter is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

§ 876.5130 Urological catheter and accessories.

(a)
