Intended Use
The UreTron Multi Probe Lithotripter System is intended for the fragmentation and removal of urinary tract calculi in the kidney, ureter, and bladder.
Device Story
The UreTron MultiProbe Lithotripter System is an electrohydraulic lithotripter used for fragmenting and removing urinary tract calculi. It functions by generating electrical discharges at the probe tip to create hydraulic shockwaves, which mechanically break down stones within the kidney, ureter, or bladder. The device is intended for use by trained urologists in a clinical or surgical setting. The physician operates the probe under endoscopic visualization to target calculi; the resulting fragments are then removed via standard urological extraction techniques. This system provides a minimally invasive method for stone management, potentially reducing the need for more invasive surgical procedures.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on technological characteristics and intended use.
Technological Characteristics
Electrohydraulic lithotripter system. Operates via electrical discharge at the probe tip to generate hydraulic shockwaves for stone fragmentation. Classified as Class II, Product Code FFK (21 CFR 876.4480).
Indications for Use
Indicated for the fragmentation and removal of urinary tract calculi located in the kidney, ureter, and bladder in patients requiring lithotripsy.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An electrohydraulic lithotriptor is an AC-powered device used to fragment urinary bladder stones. It consists of a high voltage source connected by a cable to a bipolar electrode that is introduced into the urinary bladder through a cystoscope. The electrode is held against the stone in a water-filled bladder and repeated electrical discharges between the two poles of the electrode cause electrohydraulic shock waves which disintegrate the stone.
Special Controls
The special control for this device is FDA's “Guidance for the Content of Premarket Notifications for Intracorporeal Lithotripters.”

Dear Jennifer Rautine,
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
