More Information

No
The device description and performance studies describe a physical patch with adhesive, not a software or algorithm-based technology. There are no mentions of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would indicate the use of such technologies.

Yes
The device is indicated for the prevention or decrease of urine leakage in women with stress urinary incontinence, which addresses a medical condition and aims to improve health outcomes.

No

The UroMed Patch is indicated for the prevention or decrease of urine leakage, which is a treatment or management function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "single use, disposable foam pad that is coated on one side with an adhesive gel," indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software.

Based on the provided information, the UroMed Patch is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • UroMed Patch Function: The UroMed Patch is a physical device applied externally to the body (over the urethra) to prevent urine leakage. It does not analyze any biological specimens.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to physically prevent or decrease urine leakage, not to diagnose or monitor a condition through the analysis of a sample.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states it's a "foam pad that is coated on one side with an adhesive gel" and is "worn over the urethra." This is a physical barrier, not a diagnostic tool.

Therefore, the UroMed Patch falls under the category of a physical medical device used for managing a symptom (urine leakage) rather than an IVD used for diagnostic purposes.

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

Clinical Testing: The UroMed Patch has been extensively tested for its safety and efficacy in decreasing the number of urinary leakage episodes in women with incontinence. In addition, the UroMed Patch has been tested to ensure the device can be used outside the supervision of a licensed practitioner. and adequate directions for use have been prepared.

The average number of leakage episodes reported by the patients at weeks 9, 13 and 17 (5.69 leakage episodes) as compared with the control period (14.18 leakage episodes), showed an improvement of 60%.

To provide clinical safety assurance of the UroMed Patch, the effects of use on bladder function, microbiology and dermatology were evaluated. There were no clinically significant changes noted. The sole event which may be associated with use of the UroMed Patch was a minor increase in the incidence of subject reported symptoms of irritation, characteristic of minor intitation associated with use of any topical device.

Labeling and self screening studies were conducted to assure patients could self-diagnose the type of incontinence, and correctly place the device by using instructions for use.
