Predicate Device: The Quick Disconnect Plug is substantially equivalent, but an improvement over the predicate preamendment device, which is a simple urinary catheter plug that stops the flow of urine from leaving the catheter. - Device Description: The Quick Disconnect Plug is designed to facilitate a speedy, comfortable, and safe rehabilitation for patients requiring use of a urinary catheter. The use of a urinary catheter to facilitate drainage from the bladder is usual and customary following most surgery. In using a catheter, it is connected to a collection bag, which becomes a potential physical hazard and a source of discomfort to the patient in attempting to do rehabilitative exercise. The Quick Disconnect Plug allows the patient and/or attending nurse or physician to quickly disconnect the catheter from the drainage bag, leaving one half of the Quick Disconnect Device, which has a shut-off valve built in, in the open end of the catheter and seals off the flow of urine until such time as it is reconnected and the flow is once again resumed between the catheter and the collection bag. - Technical Characteristics: The device is made up of two main components: (1) the body; and (2) the insert with the valve. Also included in the sterilized package is a vinyl tubing coupler. All components included above are made of non-toxic ingredients that meet USP Class VI requirements. Diagrams, drawings, and photographs of the above components are included and attached to this statement. One size is adequate to handle catheters up to and including size 26. Intended use of the device is for one-time use only for short durations of 2 weeks (14 days) or less with a 2-hour disconnection time interval from the bag before reconnection to evacuate the bladder. This is to be sold as a sterile product with a 5-year shelf-life. Corresponding paperwork to substantiate statement is enclosed. This device is sold with a restriction by order of a physician in accordance with 21 CFR 801.109. {1}------------------------------------------------ KOJ3890 Page 2 of 2 ### 510 (k) Summary (Continued): - .
