Used by physicians in clinical settings to access urinary tract; inserted over guidewire or through ureteroscope working channel. Facilitates delivery of gels or fluids to target site. Device provides mechanical access and delivery conduit; aids in urological procedures. Benefits include precise delivery of therapeutic agents or contrast media to urinary tract. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Performance tests included catheter hub-to-shaft tensile strength, pressure during gel delivery, burst/leak pressure, insertion force, column strength, shaft tensile strength, and hub testing. Samples were accelerated aged at 7, 13, and 37 months. ## Technological Characteristics 100cm, 3 French, single lumen catheter; stainless steel braid; radiopaque tip; female luer lock hub. Mechanical device; no energy source or software. Sterilization method modified from predicate. ## 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). ## Predicate Devices - BackStop Catheter ([K103349](/device/K103349.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The catheter is inserted over a guidewire or through the working channel of a ureteroscope and is advanced through the urinary tract to the desired location. Once in place, fluid may be injected via the catheter. The device is a single lumen catheter with a stainless steel braid and a standard female luer lock hub on the proximal end. The 3F BackStop Catheter is indicated for use by physicians for facilitating access to the urinary tract, either through a retrograde or antegrade route, and may be used in conjunction with a guidewire or for the injection of gels, such as BackStop™, or fluid into the urinary tract. The modified device is identical to, and has the same technological characteristics as the predicate device, except for some of the materials of construction and the method of sterilization. {1}------------------------------------------------ Results of bench testing have established the device as safe and effective for its intended use, which is identical to that of the predicate device. #### Non-Clinical Data: Pluromed has conducted the following non-clinical performance tests, with samples accelerated aged at T=7 months, T=13 months and T=37 months, in support of the changes in materials and method of sterilization to the proposed BackStop Catheter. - . Catheter hub-to-shaft tensile strength - . Catheter pressure during gel delivery - . Catheter Burst/Leak Pressure - . Catheter Insertion Force - . Catheter Column Strength - . Shaft Tensile Strength - . Catheter Hub Testing Conclusions: The results of the non-clinical performance tests demonstrate the equivalence of the modified BackStop Catheter to the predicate device. The proposed BackStop Catheter is considered safe and effective for its intended use. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the Department of Health & Human Services USA.
