The stent may be placed endoscopically, percutaneously, or using open surgical techniques. The stent should not be implanted for more than 30 days. This product is not intended as a permanent indwelling device. ## Device Story Structural hydrogel ureteral stent; facilitates temporary internal urinary drainage from kidney to bladder; provides ureteral stenting. Placed endoscopically, percutaneously, or via open surgery by clinicians. Anchorage section radiopaque; designed for improved anchorage force compared to predicates. Material processed via proprietary method; biocompatible per ISO 10993. Device provides mechanical support for ureter; benefits patient by maintaining drainage; prevents obstruction. Used in clinical settings. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Evaluated anchorage force, elongation, tensile strength, and flow rate. Results compared favorably to predicate devices. Biocompatibility testing conducted per ISO 10993 for prolonged exposure. ## Technological Characteristics Structural hydrogel material; radiopaque anchorage section. Dimensions/form factor consistent with pediatric ureteral stents. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993. Mechanical performance metrics include anchorage force, elongation, tensile strength, and flow rate. ## Regulatory Identification A ureteral stent is a tube-like implanted device that is inserted into the ureter to provide ureteral rigidity and allow the passage of urine. The device may have finger-like protrusions or hooked ends to keep the tube in place. It is used in the treatment of ureteral injuries and ureteral obstruction. ## Predicate Devices - Sof-Flex Pediatric Double Pigtail Ureteral Stent (Cook Urological) - Silhouette Pediatric Ureteral Stent (Applied Medical Resource) - PANAMEX Ureteral Stent (Kingston Technologies) - Aquasilque Ureteral Stent (American Medical Systems) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Box 793 Natick, MA 01760 781-245-2232 JAN 2 0 2010 PG. I OF 2 OFFICIAL CONTACT: Scott M. Epstein President DATE OF PREPARATION: September 22, 2008 (Revised November, 2009) # TRADE NAME AND MODEL OF DEVICE: . pAguaMedicina Structural Hydrogel Pediatric Ureteral Stent, Model Number, NP330- ### CLASSIFICATION NAME: Ureteral Stent - 21 CFR 876.4620; Product Code FAD CLASSIFICATION PANEL: Gastroenterology / Urology #### SUMMARY STATEMENT: (Indication for Use Revised--November, 2009) The Q Urological pAguaMedicina Structural Hydrogel Pediatric Ureteral Stent is used to facilitate temporary internal urinary drainage from the kidney to the bladder and stend to of the ureter in a pediation no less the care the sidney to the bladder and stentin of the ureter in a pediatic patient no less than 2 years old and not more than 12 years old The stent may be placed endoscopically, percutaneously, or using open surgical techniques. The stent should not be implanted for more than 30 days. This product is not intended as a permanent indivelling daving intended as a permanent indwelling device. The Q Urological Corporation pAguaMedicina Structural Hydrogel Pediatric Ureteral Stent is substantially equivalent to several predicate devices including: the Sof-Fiex Pediatic Double Pigtail Ureteral Stent (Cook Urological), the Sillouette Pediatric Ureteral Stem (Applied Medical Resource), the PANAMEX Ureteral Stent (Kingston Technologies) and the Aquasilque Ureteral Stent (American Medical Systems). Differences between the predicates and the pAguaMedicina Structural Hydrogel Pediatric Ureteral Stent are the profile of the anchorage and the stent material. When tested against several predicate devices, the anchorage method withstood a significantly greater force before coming dislodged. The anchorage method withstood a significantly greater force before coming dislodged. The anchorage section of the stent Urological Corporation is radiopaque. {1}------------------------------------------------ K082805 PG. 2 OF 2 81 The composition of the stent material has been used before in predicate devices. For the pAguaMedicina Structural Hydrogel Pediaric Ureteral Stent this material has been processed by a proprietary method which delivers equivalent technological characteristics. It was tested for biocompatibility in accordance with the suggestions of ISO 10993 for prolonged exposure. Bench performance testing was selected based on the FDA Guidance for the Content of Premarket Notifications for Ureteral Steats. Testing to determine the anchorage force, elongation and tensile strength, and flow rate of the Q Urological Corporation pAguaMedicina Structural Hydrogel Pediatric Ureleval Stept were conducted and the results compared favorably to those of the predicate devices tested. In addition, predicate stents for pediatric patients have been cleared for the same size as the pAguaMedicina Structural Hydrogel Pediatric Ureteral Steat The Q Corporation pAguaMedicina Structural Hydrogel Pediatric Ureteral Stent has the same intended use as the predicates and has no technological differences which raise new questions of safety and effectiveness and it is at least as safe and effective as the predicates. Therefore the Q Corporation pAguaMedicina Structural Hydrogel Pediatric Ureteral Stemt is substantially equivalent. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
