Indications for Use
To be used as a urological catheter inserted through the urethra to pass urine from the urinary tract by individuals that are ≥ 30kg and over 12 years of age. SilverCoat™ Silicone Foley Catheters should not be used on patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to silver or silver-containing organics or inorganics.
Device Story
SilverCoat™ Silicone Foley Catheter is a 100% silicone, two-lumen urological catheter featuring a lubricious, silver-ion-impregnated hydrophilic coating. Designed for urethral insertion to facilitate urine drainage; used in healthcare facilities, home, and ambulatory settings by clinicians or patients. Silver ions are ionically bonded within the coating and covalently bonded to the silicone surface to prevent peeling or flaking. Coating hydrates rapidly to maintain lubricity for at least seven days. Device includes a proximal funnel, inflation valve, and distal retaining balloon. Supplied sterile in single-use pouches. Intended to provide a lubricious surface for patient comfort during catheterization.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated via resistance to microbial colonization (Kirby-Bauer), real-time aging/stability, distribution simulation, and comprehensive biocompatibility (AMES assay, cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, acute systemic toxicity, extractables/leachables). Physical/functional testing performed per ASTM F623-99 and EN 1616. Silver distribution and elution profiles were characterized. No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
100% silicone construction; two-lumen shaft with proximal funnel, inflation valve, and distal balloon. Lubricious hydrophilic coating impregnated with silver ions. Complies with ASTM F623-99 and EN 1616. Sterilized via ethylene oxide. Single-use, prescription-only device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients > 30 kg and > 12 years old requiring urinary catheterization. Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to silver or silver-containing organics or inorganics.

#### IV) Device Description
SilverCoat™ Silicone Foley Catheters are 100% silicone Foley catheters that have a lubricious coating impregnated with silver ions. The silver is retained in the hydrophilic coating through ionic bonding and is covalently bonded to the silicone surface. The coating will not peel, flake or crack. The coating hydrates rapidly becoming slippery (lubricious) and maintains its lubricity for at least seven days. The SilverCoat™ catheter complies with the FDA recognized consensus standard, ASTM F623-99 Standard Performance Specification for Foley Catheter. The catheters are comprised of a twolumen shaft with proximal funnel, inflation valve, and distal retaining balloon. Balloon fill volumes are in millimeters and the shaft size is in French (Fr.) which is indicated on the funnel of each individual catheters are supplied in individually packaged, sealed single use pouches and they are sterilized by ethylene oxide. The SilverCoat™ Foley Catheter is a prescription-only device and it is intended to be used in healthcare facility/hospital, home, and ambulatory settings.
#### V) Indications for Use
To be used as a urological catheter inserted through the urethra to pass urine from the urinary tract by individuals that are ≥ 30kg and over 12 years of age. SilverCoat™ Silicone Foley Catheters should not be used on patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to silver or silver-containing organics or inorganics.
#### VI) Performance Testing
The following tests were conducted to evaluate performance of the subject device*:
- -Resistance to microbial colonization and zone of inhibition (Kirby-Bauer);
- -Real time aging and stability;
- -Distribution simulation (journey hazards);
- -Biocompatibility including: bacterial mutagenicity (AMES assay), cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation/intracutaneous reactivity, acute systemic toxicity, extractables/leachables, toxicological risk assessment (TRA), and biological evaluation (BE);

* In vitro effectiveness does not predict clinical performance.
#### VII) Substantial Equivalence
Covalon's SilverCoat™ Silicone Foley Catheter has identical technological characteristics and performance specifications as the predicate device, Medline Industries, Inc.'s SilverTouch™ Silicone Foley Catheter (K052168). Both devices are manufactured from 100% silicone, have a lubricious coating impregnated with silver ions, and possess the same design features and indications for use. In conclusion, the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device and nonclinical test data demonstrates that the subject device is safe and effective.
