Intended Use
The UroSurge SpiraStent Plus™ Ureteral Stent, has a reinforcing filament which increases its tensile strength, thereby minimizing the probability of the stent breaking during removal. This is in addition to the fact that it will be used for temporary drainage from the ureteropelvic junction to the bladder. Double pigtail stents have been employed to relieve obstruction in a variety of benign, malignant, and post-traumatic conditions. These stents may be placed using endoscopic, percutaneous, or even surgical techniques. The duration of the placement of these stents must not remain indwelling more than twenty-nine (29) days. This product is intended for one-time use only. If the patient's status permits, the stent may be replaced with a new stent.

More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical medical device (a ureteral stent) and its mechanical properties. There is no mention of software, algorithms, data processing, or any terms related to AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as a ureteral stent used for temporary drainage to relieve obstruction, indicating a direct therapeutic purpose.

No

The device description indicates it is a ureteral stent used for temporary drainage to relieve obstruction, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly identifies the device as a "Ureteral Stent," which is a physical, implantable medical device, not software.

Based on the provided information, the UroSurge SpiraStent Plus™ Ureteral Stent is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • UroSurge SpiraStent Plus™ Function: The description clearly states the stent is used for "temporary drainage from the ureteropelvic junction to the bladder." This is a device that is implanted within the body to facilitate a physiological process (drainage). It does not perform any tests on samples.

Therefore, the UroSurge SpiraStent Plus™ Ureteral Stent is a medical device, but it falls under a different category than In Vitro Diagnostics.

Re: K981489 UroSurge SpiraStent™ PLUS Dated: April 9, 1998 Received: April 27, 1998 Regulatory Class: II 21 CFR $876.4620/Procode: 78 FAD

Dear Mr. Becze:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic OS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition. FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Thease note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsmaldsmamain.html".
