Dear Wei Shan Hsu:
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. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.

#### 9. Justification for the differences
- (1) Different effective shaft length
The subject device has shorter effective shaft length for female and pediatrics than predicate device. The effective shaft length of subject device fulfills the requirement of ISO 20696:2018. This difference does not affect the substantial equivalence of the device.
- (2) Different coating material
The coating material of subject device and predicate device is different. Biocompatibility tests were conducted to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the subject device.
- (3) Different ISO 10993 standard for irritation test and addition of subchronic systemic toxicity test
The penile irritation of the subject device complies to new standard ISO 10993-23:2021, which is specific for irritation testing instead of ISO 10993-10:2010. This difference does not affect the substantial equivalence of the device.
As this product is considered to be a device with prolonged contact-
{8}------------------------------------------------
duration given the repeated use, subchronic systemic toxicity test was conducted to validate the biocompatibility.
- (4) Different packaging material
The packaging material of subject device and predicate device is different. Packaging integrity testing was conducted to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the subject device.
#### Non-clinical Performance Data 10.
The bench testing performed verifies that the performance of the subject device is substantially equivalent in terms of critical performance characteristics to the predicate device. These tests include:
| Testing Performed | Reference to Standard | Results |
|--------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------|
| Product length | ISO 20696:2018 | Pass |
| ID/OD | ASTM F623-19, EN 1616:1997 | Pass |
| Eyelets dimensions | N/A | Pass |
| Drainage Funnel<br>Connector separation<br>force | ISO 20696:2018 | Pass |
| Peak tensile force | ISO 20696:2018 | Pass |
| Flow Rate | ASTM F623- 19, EN 1616:1997,<br>ISO 20696:2018 | Pass |
| Bending resistance | YY-0325:2016 | Pass |
| Kink stability | ISO 20696:2018 | Pass |
| Lubricity of coating | N/A | Pass |
| Gel appearance | N/A | Pass |
| Biocompatibility Testing | ISO 10993-1:2009<br>ISO 10993-5:2009<br>ISO 10993-10:2021<br>ISO 10993-23:2021<br>ISO 10993-7:2008 | Pass |
| Sterilization | ISO 11135: 2014 | Pass |
{9}------------------------------------------------
Overall, the results are comparable to the predicate and support a determination of substantial equivalence.
#### 11. Conclusion
The Intermittent nelaton catheter for single use has the same intended use and technological characteristics as the predicate. Both the subject and predicate devices are intended for same patient populations- male, female and pediatric. Both the subject and predicate devices are disposable, sterile, single patient use devices.
The differences between the predicate and the subject device do not raise any new or different questions of safety or effectiveness. In conclusion, the Intermittent nelaton catheter for single use is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
