Intended Use
Procon 2 is a single use catheter with an inflatable balloon cuff intended to act as a barrier to the passage of fecal matter through the rectum. Procon2 is for an individual with fecal incontinence that has impaired quality of life, is sufficiently motivated psychologically to participate in their own treatment, and having good manual dexterity is an ideal candidate. He or she is either not a surgical candidate or has not responded to conservative treatment.
Device Story
Procon2 is a single-use rectal silicone catheter featuring an inflatable balloon cuff. It functions as a mechanical barrier to prevent the unintended passage of fecal matter. The device is intended for self-insertion by patients with fecal incontinence who possess sufficient manual dexterity and psychological motivation. Unlike its predicate, Procon2 contains no electronic circuitry, sensors, or alarms; it relies on rectal tactile response or predetermined timing to remind the user when to evacuate. The balloon cuff is inflated with 25cc of water to maintain the barrier. By preventing fecal leakage, the device aims to restore quality of life and prevent the spread of infectious diseases.
Clinical Evidence
No new clinical data provided. Evidence relies on clinical trials of the predicate device conducted at the Cleveland Clinic Florida, which established the efficacy of the mechanical balloon barrier in preventing fecal accidents even when electronic alarms were disabled.
Technological Characteristics
Single-use rectal catheter; 18Fr silicone construction; inflatable balloon cuff (25cc water capacity). Passive device; no electrical circuitry, sensors, or software. Manual insertion.
Indications for Use
Indicated for individuals with fecal incontinence, impaired quality of life, and good manual dexterity who are not surgical candidates or have failed conservative treatment.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A gastrointestinal tube and accessories is a device that consists of flexible or semi-rigid tubing used for instilling fluids into, withdrawing fluids from, splinting, or suppressing bleeding of the alimentary tract. This device may incorporate an integral inflatable balloon for retention or hemostasis. This generic type of device includes the hemostatic bag, irrigation and aspiration catheter (gastric, colonic, etc.), rectal catheter, sterile infant gavage set, gastrointestinal string and tubes to locate internal bleeding, double lumen tube for intestinal decompression or intubation, feeding tube, gastroenterostomy tube, Levine tube, nasogastric tube, single lumen tube with mercury weight balloon for intestinal intubation or decompression, and gastro-urological irrigation tray (for gastrological use).
Special Controls
*Classification.* (1) Class II (special controls). The barium enema retention catheter and tip with or without a bag that is a gastrointestinal tube and accessory or a gastronomy tube holder accessory is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.(2) Class I (general controls) for the dissolvable nasogastric feed tube guide for the nasogastric tube. The class I device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 876.9.

Incontinent Control Devices, Inc. is claiming equivalence of Procon2 to Procon. a class II Mcdical Device. K8642218 issued 01/12/1987
Description of Procon2: A single use rectal silicone catheter with a water filled cuff acting as a barrier to the unintended passage of feces through the rectum.
Intended use for Procon2: ProCon2 is a single use catheter with an inflatable balloon cuff intended to act as a barrier to the passage of fecal matter through the recturn. The device is intended for patients with significant fecal incontinence who are either not surgical candidates or have not responded to prior conservative and surgical treatment. The device is intended for selfinsertion after a thorough demonstration of its use.
Purposes and functions of Procon2: 1. To provide a rectal barrier to the discharge of fecal matter. 2. To help prevent the spread of infectious diseases, and 3. To restore a better quality of life for the users.
Technological characteristics of Predicate device: ( Device number K8642218 issued 01/12/1987) A single use rectal balloon cuff, 16Fr Latex, Foley Catheler with a photo-sensor alarm, and an air-filled cuff acting as a barrier to the unintended passage of feces.
Technological characteristics of Procon2: A single use rectal balloon cuff, 18Fr. Silicone, Foley catheter (without a conventional electronic alarm) acting as a barrier to the unintended passage of feces.

Patient acceptance trials of the Predicate Device conducted at the Cleveland Clinic Florida, under the direction of the Chairman, Dept. of Colorcetal Surgery, S.D. Wexner M.D., F.A.C.S., F.R.C.S., F.R.C.S.Ed., F.A.S.C.R.S., F.A.C.G., determined the efficacy of the Predicate Device as a "mechanical barrier" to the impending passage of feces.
The medical text, Diamosis and Treatment of Fecal Incontinence (2000) Giovanni Romano, P. a. Lehur. E. Weiss (eds), ISBN: 192864919X. Publisher: Idelson-Gnocchi Ltd. Publishing provides a summary of Dr. Wexner's findings:
"The ProCon Incontinence Device: A new Ontion for the Treatment of Symptoms of Fecal Incontinence" by Dr. Paolo Giamundo, S.D. Wexner states the following:
"The mechanical barrier component, however, cannot be underestimated even when patients voluntarily turned off the alarm, with the catheter still in position, very few experienced episodes of focal accidents or major Icakage."
