The Optilume Basic Urological Balloon Dilation Catheter is intended for the dilation of the urinary tract.
Device Story
Optilume Basic is an over-the-wire (OTW) balloon dilation catheter; dual-lumen design with tapered atraumatic tip; 75 cm usable length. Used in clinical settings by physicians; compatible with standard flexible cystoscopes and 0.038" guidewires. Device inserted into urethral stricture site under cystoscopic or fluoroscopic visualization; balloon inflated with saline/contrast medium to exert radial force; dilates narrow urethral segments. Radiopaque marker bands facilitate accurate positioning. Benefits include mechanical restoration of urethral patency. Single-use, sterile device.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing included dimensional, balloon burst, leakage, kink resistance, compatibility, tensile, fatigue, and balloon compliance testing. Biocompatibility testing (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, systemic toxicity) and packaging/aging studies were performed. A GLP animal study in canines evaluated safety and performance; results showed the device performed as intended with no device-related adverse events.
Technological Characteristics
Dual-lumen OTW catheter; semi-compliant inflatable balloon; 75 cm length; 0.038" guidewire compatible. Radiopaque marker bands for visualization. Sterilized via ethylene oxide (SAL 10^-6). Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1. Mechanical dilation principle using saline/contrast inflation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the dilation of urethral strictures in patients requiring urinary tract dilation.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A urethral dilator is a device that consists of a slender hollow or solid instrument made of metal, plastic, or other suitable material in a cylindrical form and in a range of sizes and flexibilities. The device may include a mechanism to expand the portion of the device in the urethra and indicate the degree of expansion on a dial. It is used to dilate the urethra. This generic type of device includes the mechanical urethral dilator, urological bougies, metal or plastic urethral sound, urethrometer, filiform, and filiform follower.
Special Controls
*Classification.* (1) Class II (special controls). Except when it is a mechanical urethral dilator, the device 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 for the urethrometer, urological bougie, filiform and filiform follower, and metal or plastic urethral sound. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.

Dear Ms. Chew:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products.

### DEVICE DESCRIPTION OVERVIEW 1.3
The Optilume Basic Urological Balloon Dilation Catheter (Optilume Basic) is a 0.038" (0.97 mm) guidewire and flexible cystoscope compatible over-the-wire (OTW) catheter with a dual lumen design with a tapered atraumatic tip. The Optilume Basic is used to exert radial force to dilate narrow urethral segments (strictures). The distal end of the catheter is a semi-compliant inflatable balloon. The usable length is 75 cm and allows the device to be compatible with the working channel of a standard flexible cystoscope. The device has two radiopaque marker bands that indicate the working length of the balloon.
The device is sterilized using ethylene oxide in a Tyvek pouch. Post sterilization the pouched catheter is sealed in a foil pouch with desiccant and contained within a single unit carton.
