Intended Use
The Silicone Antibacterial Foley Catheter is intended for short term use to provide continuous urinary bladder drainage in adult males and females requiring catheterization for surgical procedures, monitoring uring output, management of incontinence, and voiding dysfunction. The catheter has been shown to provide a statistically significant redution in the incidence of catheter acquired bacterial urinary tract infection during the first 5 days of catheterization. This device is not intended to be used as a treatment for active urinary tract infection.
Device Description
The catherer consists of a standard configuration Foley catheter with a drainage lumen that exits through two drainage eyes on the proximal end. A retention balloon is located near the proximal catheter tip. The retention balloon is filled thru a second lumen with a Luer valve that extends from a side arm on the distal end of the catherer to the balloon. The catherer is coated with nitrofurazone impregnated siliconc on the outside surface and inner lumen. It is available in 12, 18 and 20 Fr sizes. All French sizes are provided in a 16 inch length with a 5 or 10 cc size balloon.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical medical device (Foley catheter) with an antibacterial coating and presents clinical study results related to its efficacy in reducing bacterial infections. There is no mention of software, algorithms, data processing, or any terms associated with AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as providing a statistically significant reduction in the incidence of catheter acquired bacterial urinary tract infection, indicating a therapeutic effect.

No

The device is a Foley catheter, which is used for continuous urinary bladder drainage and management of incontinence and voiding dysfunction. It does not perform diagnostic functions but rather provides a means for drainage and has antibacterial properties to reduce infection.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with lumens, a balloon, and a coating, indicating it is a hardware 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 provide continuous urinary bladder drainage and reduce the incidence of catheter-acquired bacterial urinary tract infection. This is a therapeutic and preventative function performed in vivo (within the body).
  • Device Description: The description details a physical catheter designed for insertion into the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease.

IVD devices are typically used to test samples like blood, urine, or tissue in a laboratory setting to diagnose or monitor conditions. This device is a medical device used directly on a patient for drainage and infection prevention.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Test results: indicated that the Silicone Antibacterial Foley Catheter meets the requirements of ASTM 623-89 Standard Specification for Foley Catheters.
Simulated use testing: shows that the elution profile of the antibacterial agent from the catheter is reproducible and the agent is released at bacteriocidal levels. There has been no evidence that the catheter materials or performance are degraded with ageing.
Biocompatibility testing: Samples of Silicone Antibacterial Foley Catheter passed Cytotoxicity, USP Systemic Toxicity, Subchronic Toxicity, Intracutancous Injection, Muscle Implant Study, Sensitization Study, Pyrogenicity and Hemolysis. Mutagenicity testing indicated some mutagenic changes.
In-vitro studies: In vitro studies have shown that nitrofurazone impregnated catherer segments have antibacterial activity against clinical isolates of uro-pathogens including Coagulase-negative staphylococci, S. aureus, Enterococcus spp., C. Minutissimum, E. Coli, Enterobacter spp., and Klebstella spp. Gram-negative bacilli including Serratia spp., Proteus spp., and Pseudomonas spp. were not inhibited by nitrofurazone impregnated catheter segments. Nitrofurazone is not effective against yeast and fungi.
Clinical studies: A single site randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial was conducted to compare the antibacterial properies of the Silicone Antibacterial Catheter (nitrofurazone impregnated) to a Conventional Silicone Catheter. During the eleven month trial, a total of 344 patients (68% men, 32% women) mecting the study evaluation criteria were enrolled (mean age = 56 years, range 18 to 91) and the incidence of catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) during catheterization was recorded.
For patients with catheters inserted for 7 days or less (91.9% of population, median = 3 days), the group receiving the Silicone Antibacterial Catherer had an approximate threefold reduction in the rate of bacterial CAUTI compared to the Conventional Silicone Catheter group (2.4% vs. 6.9% incidence). The difference in actuarial survival curves for time until the occurence of bacterial CAUTI between the two groups was found to be statistically significant (p = 0.007, Kaplan-Mcicr survival, Breslow logrank statistic) for the first 5 days of use. However, the trend in the hazard ratio over time to bacterial CAUTI between the antibacterial catheter and standard catherer was found to be statistically significantly increasing (P=0.03 Wald Chi Square Statistic) for the 7 days of use, resulting in the reversal of the hazard ratio in favor of the standard catheter from the 6th day.

Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)

Incidence of bacterial CAUTI: 2.4% for Silicone Antibacterial Catheter vs. 6.9% for Conventional Silicone Catheter (for catheterization of 7 days or less).
Statistical significance: p = 0.007 for the first 5 days of use.
Trend in hazard ratio: P = 0.03 for 7 days of use.
