Intended Use
The Kendall Curity Ureteral Catheter is intended to be used to inject contrast medium for fluoroscopic ureteral visualization, to direct a guidewire into the ureter and for urinary drainage.
Device Description
The proposed Kendall Curity Ureteral Catheter is a sterile, single use device which facilitates preliminary procedural components of ureteroscopy. The catheter is a single lumen extrusion fabricated from nylon resin. Graduated placement markers on the catheter shaft will allow the urologist to determine the extent of catheter advancement. The proximal end of the catheter has a friction fitted luer lock adapter. The distal catheter tip will be manufactured in a cone tip, open tip or whistle tip configuration. The catheter will be sold in a standard 70 cm working length in French sizes ranging from 4.0 Fr. to 7.0 Fr.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical and mechanical properties of a ureteral catheter, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No
The device is used for diagnostic visualization, guidewire direction, and drainage, not for treating a disease or condition.

No

The device is primarily used to inject contrast medium for visualization, direct a guidewire, and for urinary drainage, which are interventional or procedural uses rather than diagnostic. While it aids in visualization, its core function is not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, single-use catheter made from nylon resin with various tip configurations and a luer lock adapter. It undergoes biocompatibility and functional/mechanical testing, which are characteristic of hardware devices. 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:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used within the body for procedures like injecting contrast, guiding wires, and drainage. This is an in vivo use.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical catheter designed to be inserted into the ureter.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such analysis of specimens.

The device is a medical device used for interventional procedures within the urinary tract.

Summary of Performance Studies

Biocompatibility testing was performed on the catheter following ISO-10993 Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices. This testing found the material contained no toxic diffusible substances. Functional/Mechanical testing was performed to determine flow rates, shaft kink, shaft stiffness, shaft tensile, cone tip/shaft bond and shaft radiopacity. Testing showed equivalence between the proposed catheter and referenced predicate devices.

§ 876.5130 Urological catheter and accessories.

(a)
Identification. A urological catheter and accessories is a flexible tubular device that is inserted through the urethra and used to pass fluids to or from the urinary tract. This generic type of device includes radiopaque urological catheters, ureteral catheters, urethral catheters, coudé catheters, balloon retention type catheters, straight catheters, upper urinary tract catheters, double lumen female urethrographic catheters, disposable ureteral catheters, male urethrographic catheters, and urological catheter accessories including ureteral catheter stylets, ureteral catheter adapters, ureteral catheter holders, ureteral catheter stylets, ureteral catheterization trays, and the gastro-urological irrigation tray (for urological use).(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (performance standards).(2) Class I for the ureteral stylet (guidewire), stylet for gastrourological catheter, ureteral catheter adapter, ureteral catheter connector, and ureteral catheter holder. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.
