Intended Use
To establish a continuous conduit during urological endoscopic procedures facilitating the in and out passage of endoscopes and other instruments into the urinary tract.
Device Story
The Re-Trace Ureteral Access Sheath and Ureteral Access Sheath are medical devices used to create a continuous conduit in the urinary tract during endoscopic procedures. The device consists of a reinforced tube/sheath, an introducer/dilator, a connector, and a clip. The 10/12 Ch/Fr model includes a stainless steel ring at the distal tip for reinforcement. The introducer/dilator features a guidewire entry eye. The device is used by urologists in a clinical setting to facilitate the insertion and withdrawal of endoscopes and other surgical instruments. By providing a stable pathway, the sheath protects the ureter and simplifies instrument exchange, potentially reducing procedural time and trauma to the urinary tract.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance testing included sheath/introducer/component break force, friction, kink resistance, injection, and guidewire pullout force testing. Biocompatibility testing was conducted in accordance with ISO 10993.
Technological Characteristics
Reinforced tube/sheath, introducer/dilator, connector, and clip. 10/12 Ch/Fr model features a stainless steel ring at the distal tip. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993. Non-powered, mechanical device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing urological endoscopic procedures requiring a conduit for the passage of endoscopes and instruments into the urinary tract.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An endoscope and accessories is a device used to provide access, illumination, and allow observation or manipulation of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals. The device consists of various rigid or flexible instruments that are inserted into body spaces and may include an optical system for conveying an image to the user's eye and their accessories may assist in gaining access or increase the versatility and augment the capabilities of the devices. Examples of devices that are within this generic type of device include cleaning accessories for endoscopes, photographic accessories for endoscopes, nonpowered anoscopes, binolcular attachments for endoscopes, pocket battery boxes, flexible or rigid choledochoscopes, colonoscopes, diagnostic cystoscopes, cystourethroscopes, enteroscopes, esophagogastroduodenoscopes, rigid esophagoscopes, fiberoptic illuminators for endoscopes, incandescent endoscope lamps, biliary pancreatoscopes, proctoscopes, resectoscopes, nephroscopes, sigmoidoscopes, ureteroscopes, urethroscopes, endomagnetic retrievers, cytology brushes for endoscopes, and lubricating jelly for transurethral surgical instruments. This section does not apply to endoscopes that have specialized uses in other medical specialty areas and that are covered by classification regulations in other parts of the device classification regulations.
Special Controls
*Classification* —(1)*Class II (special controls).* The device, when it is an endoscope disinfectant basin, which consists solely of a container that holds disinfectant and endoscopes and accessories; an endoscopic magnetic retriever intended for single use; sterile scissors for cystoscope intended for single use; a disposable, non-powered endoscopic grasping/cutting instrument intended for single use; a diagnostic incandescent light source; a fiberoptic photographic light source; a routine fiberoptic light source; an endoscopic sponge carrier; a xenon arc endoscope light source; an endoscope transformer; an LED light source; or a gastroenterology-urology endoscopic guidewire, 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 photographic accessories for endoscope, miscellaneous bulb adapter for endoscope, binocular attachment for endoscope, eyepiece attachment for prescription lens, teaching attachment, inflation bulb, measuring device for panendoscope, photographic equipment for physiologic function monitor, special lens instrument for endoscope, smoke removal tube, rechargeable battery box, pocket battery box, bite block for endoscope, and cleaning brush for endoscope. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 876.9.

## Legally Marketed Device To Which Your Firm Is Claiming Equivalence:
The Re-Trace Ureteral Access Sheath 10/12 Ch/Fr & Ureteral Access Sheath are substantially equivalent in performance, indication, design and materials to Re-Trace Ureteral Access Sheath 12/14 Ch/Fr from Coloplast A/S, cleared under Premarket notification # K 102485.
{1}------------------------------------------------
## Description of the Device:
The Re-Trace Ureteral Access Sheath 10/12 Ch/Fr & Ureteral Access Sheath are line extensions of the Re-Trace Ureteral Access Sheath 12/14 Ch/Fr. All these devices comprise the following components:
- Reinforced tube/sheath .
- Introducer/dilator .
- Connector .
- Clip .
The only design addition to the 10/12 Ch/Fr reinforced tube/sheath compared to the 12/14 Cly/Fr sheath is the presence of a reinforcing Stainless Steel ring at the distal tip.
For the Ureteral Access Sheath, the introducer/dilator also only has a guidewire entry eye at the distal tip compared with guidewire entry and exit eyes and three exit holes for fluid delivery on the Re-Trace Ureteral Access Sheath introducer/dilator.
Apart from these modifications, all the Re-Trace Ureteral Access Sheath & Ureteral Access Sheath range is very similar in design.
### Intended Use of the Device:
To establish a continuous conduit during urological endoscopic procedures facilitating the in and out passage of endoscopes and other instruments into the urinary tract.
### Predicate Device:
The Re-Trace Ureteral Access Sheath 10/12 Ch/Fr & Ureteral Access Sheath are substantially equivalent in performance, indication, design and materials to Re-Trace Ureteral Access Sheath 12/14 Ch/Fr from Coloplast A/S, cleared under Premarket notification # K102485.
### Reference Device:
Regarding the proposed size range for Re-Trace Access Sheath & Ureteral Access Sheath, the Cook Flexor® Access Sheath from Cook Urological, Inc., cleared under Premarket notification #K043418, will be used as a reference device.
{2}------------------------------------------------
## Summary and Conclusions from the Nonclinical Tests Submitted:
Product Performance testing comparing the subject device to the predicate device included the following tests/analysis: Sheath/ introducer/component break force testing, friction testing, kink resistance testing, injection testing, guidewire pullout force testing, packaging testing.
Biocompatibility testing was performed according to ISO 10993 on the Re-Trace Ureteral Access Sheath.
#### Conclusion
Substantial equivalence is supported by successful completion of the performance testing comparing Re-Trace Ureteral Access Sheath 10/12 Ch/Fr & Ureteral Access Sheath to the predicate device and the biocompatibility testing conducted on the Re-Trace Ureteral Access Sheath.
