Device Facts

• Record ID: K251116
• Device Name: Luja Coudé
• Applicant: Coloplast Corp.
• Product Code: EZD · Gastroenterology, Urology
• Decision Date: Jun 27, 2025
• Decision: SESE
• Submission Type: Traditional
• Regulation: 21 CFR 876.5130
• Device Class: Class 2
• Attributes: Therapeutic, Pediatric

Intended Use

Luja Coude is indicated for use by patients with urine retention and patients with 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 indicated for male patients only (adults and pediatric above the age of 1 years).

Device Story

Luja Coudé is a single-use, sterile, hydrophilic-coated intermittent urinary catheter. It features a flexible curved tip with multiple micro-holes forming a drainage zone to facilitate urine flow from the bladder. The device is inserted into the urethra by the patient or caregiver; the proximal end connects to a urine collection bag. The hydrophilic coating, activated by a saline/PEG wetting agent, reduces friction during insertion and withdrawal. The device is intended for intermittent use in patients with voiding dysfunction. It is available in various diameters (8-18 Fr) and a 33cm length. The catheter is constructed from polyurethane with a PVP-based coating. It is sterilized via e-beam irradiation. The device provides a non-invasive method for bladder drainage, helping to manage urine retention and PVR, thereby reducing the risk of complications associated with chronic retention.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993-1:2018 (cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization, systemic toxicity, pyrogenicity). Performance testing conducted per ISO 20696:2018, including friction testing (T=0 and T=5 min), kink resistance, pH, and osmolality. Shelf-life and shipping integrity verified via ASTM F1980-21 and ASTM D4169-22.

Technological Characteristics

Single-use, sterile, hydrophilic-coated polyurethane catheter. Flexible curved tip with micro-hole drainage zone. PVP-based hydrophilic coating; saline/PEG wetting agent. Sizes 8-18 Fr; 33cm length. Sterilized by e-beam (SAL 10^-6). Packaging: PE-peel/PETP. Standards: ISO 10993 (biocompatibility), ISO 20696 (catheter performance), ASTM D4169 (shipping), ASTM F1980 (aging).

Indications for Use

Indicated for male patients (adults and pediatric >1 year) with urine retention or post void residual volume (PVR) due to neurogenic or non-neurogenic voiding dysfunction.

Dear Troy Thome:

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 (the 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 available 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device"

Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30, Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90, Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reporting-combination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.

All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E).

## Predicate Device:
K241210, Luja Coude
The predicate device has not been subject of a design-related recall.

## Device Description:
The Luja Coude is a single-use, sterile, hydrophilic coated catheter for intermittent urinary catheterization. The catheter has a flexible tip which contains several small holes (micro holes) by the tip creating a drainage zone which allows the urine to flow from the bladder through the catheter. The drainage end of the device has an outlet to which a urine bag with a suitable connector can be connected. The catheter also contains a hydrophilic-coating and is sterilized by irradiation.

The primary packaging provides the sterile barrier and contains a proof of seal for identification of opened products.

The Luja Coude is available in one length (33cm) with a flexible tip and diameters of 8 Fr, 10 Fr, 12 Fr, 14 Fr, 16 Fr, and 18 Fr.

## Indications for Use:
Luja Coude is indicated for use by patients with urine retention and patients with 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 indicated for male patients only (adults and pediatric above the age of 1 years).
