The catheter is indicated for use by patients with urine retention and patients with a post void residual volume (PVR) due to neurogenic and non-neurogenic voiding dysfunction. The catheter is inserted into the urethra to reach the bladder allowing urine to drain. The product is for male patients only.
Device Story
Sterile, single-use, hydrophilic-coated polyurethane catheter for intermittent bladder drainage. Designed for male patients with voiding dysfunction. Features a flexible, bendable tip that adapts to urethral curvature—remaining straight in straight passages and bending to a coudé-like profile in curved anatomies—to facilitate navigation through difficult urethral passages (e.g., enlarged prostate, strictures). Includes a protective sleeve to minimize touch during insertion. Operated by the patient for self-catheterization. Output is the drainage of urine from the bladder. Benefits include improved ease of use, hygienic insertion, and enhanced navigation through complex male urethral anatomies.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical trials in living patients. Evidence includes bench testing (flow rate, friction, tensile strength, connector security) and biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1. Pre-clinical study performed using male cadavers with difficult urethral anatomies (enlarged prostate, strictures) demonstrated performance comparable to standard coudé catheters for insertion and navigation.
Technological Characteristics
Hydrophilic-coated polyurethane catheter. Flexible tip design. Protective insertion sleeve. Pre-lubricated with saline. Bench testing standards: EN1616/EN1618, ASTM F623-99:2013 (flow rate), ASTM D1894:2014 (friction). Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1 and FDA G95-1.
Indications for Use
Indicated for male patients with urine retention or post void residual volume (PVR) due to neurogenic or non-neurogenic voiding dysfunction.

| Product description | The SpeediCath Flex Coudé catheter is a sterile single use<br>hydrophilic coated polyurethane catheter for men. The<br>catheter is to be used for intermittent drainage of the<br>bladder through the urethra by males with missing or<br>reduced bladder control. The catheter has a flexible<br>bendable tip that facilitates passage through the urethra to<br>the bladder. The catheter is shielded by a sleeve, which<br>serves as protection from the user's touch during insertion. |
| Indication for use | SpeediCath Flex Coudé is indicated for use by patients with<br>urine retention and patients with post void residual volume<br>(PVR) due to neurogenic and non-neurogenic voiding<br>dysfunction. The catheter is inserted into the urethra to<br>reach the bladder allowing urine to drain.<br>The product is for male patients only |
| Summary of technological<br>characteristics | The subject device has similar indications for use, design,<br>sizes materials and principles of operations as the predicate<br>device SpeediCath Standard (K023254). The subject device<br>includes the same coating and saline solution (pre-<br>lubrication) as the predicate device. The differences<br>between the subject device and predicate device are the<br>protective sleeve, the packaging configuration and the<br>flexible tip. The sleeve is for ease of use and hygienic<br>insertion and is similar to the protective sleeve of the<br>reference device VaPro Intermittent catheter (K090960).<br>The packaging modifications are made for discretion<br>improvements and are similar to the packaging<br>configuration of reference device VaPro Pocket (K143594).<br>The SpeediCath Flex Coudé catheter tip flexibility allows the<br>tip of the catheter to achieve different degrees of curvature,<br>rather than a fixed one as in the predicate and reference<br>devices. Under straight urethral passages, the flexible tip<br>will remain straight acting as a nelaton tip, whereas when<br>passing through curvatures the tip will bend progressively<br>and adopt the curved profile of a coudé tip. This enables<br>and facilitates passage through difficult, curved anatomies,<br>similar to the coudé tip (Tiemann variant) of the predicate<br>device. |
| Performance data - bench | Performance testing was conducted according to applicable<br>sections of voluntary standards in order to document the<br>following properties of the SpeediCath Flex Coudé catheter:<br>Flow rate according to EN1616/EN1618 & ASTM F623-99:2013 Coefficient of friction according to ASTM D1894:2014 Tensile strength according to EN1616/EN1618. Connector security according to EN1616. Biocompatibility according to ISO 10993-1 and applicable<br>parts of FDA Blue Book Memorandum #G95-1. All tests passed. |
| Performance data - clinical | Based on the clinical evaluation of available published data<br>it is evaluated that the SpeediCath Flex Coude' has a<br>safety and efficacy profile equivalent to the predicate<br>and reference devices. Furthermore, a pre-clinical study<br>was performed using male cadavers with difficult<br>urethral anatomies, resulting from enlarged prostate and<br>strictures. SpeediCath Flex Coude' was comparable to a<br>standard coude' catheter in terms of insertion and<br>navigation through difficult male anatomies. |
| Conclusion | Based on the test results and additional supporting<br>documentation provided in this premarket notification, the<br>proposed device demonstrates substantial equivalence to<br>the previously cleared predicate devices. |
