## Indications for Use

The Bardex® Lubri-Sil® All-Silicone Lubricious Coated Foley Catheter 6 Fr is indicated for use in the drainage and/or collection and/or measurement of urine. Generally, drainage is accomplished by inserting the catheter through the urethra and into the bladder. However, drainage is sometimes accomplished by suprapubic or other placement of the catheter, such as nephrostomy tract.

## Device Story

Single-use, sterile, 2-way, latex-free, hydrogel-coated silicone Foley catheter; 6 Fr size. Device facilitates urine drainage, collection, or measurement. Inserted by clinicians via urethra, suprapubic, or nephrostomy routes. Functions as a passive conduit for urine flow. Provides pediatric-sized option for patients requiring long-term or short-term catheterization. Benefits include reduced friction during insertion and removal due to lubricious coating; biocompatible silicone construction minimizes tissue irritation.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing included dimensional requirements, coefficient of friction, and ASTM F623-99 performance specifications (flow rate, balloon integrity, inflated balloon response to pull out, balloon volume maintenance, balloon/shaft size, and balloon deflation reliability). Biocompatibility testing was performed successfully.

## Technological Characteristics

Material: Silicone with lubricious/hydrophilic coating. Dimensions: 6 Fr. Design: 2-way, latex-free, balloon-retention Foley catheter. Standards: ASTM F623-99. Sterilization: Not specified (manufacturing/sterilization locations provided).

## Regulatory Identification

A urological catheter and accessories is a flexible tubular device that is inserted through the urethra and used to pass fluids to or from the urinary tract. This generic type of device includes radiopaque urological catheters, ureteral catheters, urethral catheters, coudé catheters, balloon retention type catheters, straight catheters, upper urinary tract catheters, double lumen female urethrographic catheters, disposable ureteral catheters, male urethrographic catheters, and urological catheter accessories including ureteral catheter stylets, ureteral catheter adapters, ureteral catheter holders, ureteral catheter stylets, ureteral catheterization trays, and the gastro-urological irrigation tray (for urological use).

### 5.9 DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE:

#### Intended Use:

The Bardex® Lubri-Sil® All-Silicone Lubricious Coated Foley Catheter 6 Fr is indicated for use in the drainage and/or collection and/or measurement of urine. Generally, drainage is accomplished by inserting the catheter through the urethra and into the bladder. However, drainage is sometimes accomplished by suprapubic or other placement of the catheter, such as nephrostomy tract.

## Device Description

The Bardex® Lubri-Sil® All-Silicone Lubricious Coated Foley Catheter 6 Fr is a single use, sterile, 2-way, latex-free, hydrogel-coated Foley catheter and represents a product line extension to the current Bard Medical Division product line range of silicone Foley catheters found substantially equivalent in K984084 and K002868.

#### Technological Characteristics

The catheters described in this 510(k) have similar technological and performance characteristics to the predicate devices. The catheters are manufactured from silicone and have a lubricious/hydrophilic coating, just as the predicate devices from C.R. Bard Inc. and Rochester Medical.

{3}------------------------------------------------

## Evaluation of Substantial Equivalence:

The device is a line extension of the C.R. Bard Foley Catheter product line of lubricious-coated silicone catheters. The 6 Fr size adds another pediatric size in addition to the 8 and 10 Fr sizes currently commercially available. In addition, Rochester Medical's 510(k) includes a 6 Fr size made of silicone with a hydrophilic coating.

The new device was tested to meet C.R. Bard Inc. dimensional requirements, coefficient of friction test and ASTM F623-99 Standard Performance Specification for Foley Catheter for flow rate, balloon integrity, inflated balloon response to pull out, balloon volume maintenance, balloon and shaft size, and balloon deflation reliability. Biocompatibility testing has also been performed successfully. Additional testing established by C.R. Bard Inc. for a silicone-coated pediatric catheter are also provided within this 510(k).

## Conclusion

The proposed Barde - Lubri-Sil® All-Silicone Lubricious coated Foley Catheter 6 Fr is substantially equivalent to commercially available devices.

Trade/Device Name: Bardex® Lubri-Sile All-Silicone Lubricious Coated Foley Catherer 6 Fr Regulation Number: 21 CFRT §876.5130 Regulation Name: Urological catheter and accessories Regulatory Class: II Product Code: EZL Dated: February 21, 2007 Received: February 22, 2007

Dear Mr. Mosenkis:

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. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such 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.

Image /page/4/Picture/10 description: The image shows a logo with the text "1906-2006 FDA Centennial" in a circular design. There are three stars below the word Centennial. The text "Protecting and Promoting Public Health" is written in a decorative font below the logo.

{5}------------------------------------------------

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); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter:

| 21 CFR 876.xxxx | (Gastroenterology/Renal/Urology) | 240-276-011 |
|-----------------|----------------------------------|-------------|
| 21 CFR 884.xxxx | (Obstetrics/Gynecology)          | 240-276-011 |

| Other           |                                  | 240-276-010 |

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html
