Indications for Use

The Urethrotech Urethral Catheterization Device is intended for use for bladder management including urine drainage, collection and measurement and / or bladder fluid instillation or irrigation.

Device Story

The Urethrotech UCD is a 3-way silicone Foley balloon catheter featuring an integrated, removable Nitinol guidewire with a hydrophilic coating. The device is used in hospitals and sub-acute settings by clinicians to provide urinary tract access, negotiate prostatic curves or tight urethral sphincters, and facilitate bladder irrigation and urine drainage. The guidewire, which protrudes 50cm from the catheter tip, is inserted into the bladder first to guide the catheter safely into position. A female Luer lock at the proximal end of the guidewire allows for lubrication and prevents the wire from advancing too far or dislodging. Once the catheter is positioned, the guidewire is removed. The device benefits patients by providing a safer, guided method for urethral catheterization, reducing the risk of trauma during insertion. Output is the physical drainage of urine or the delivery of irrigation fluids, which the clinician monitors to manage bladder health.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only, including flow rate, balloon integrity, pullout response, volume maintenance, and deflation reliability per ASTM F623-19. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993-1 (cytotoxicity, systemic toxicity, sensitization, irritation, pyrogenicity).

Technological Characteristics

Silicone tube with embedded radiopaque stripe, silicone balloon, PVC check valves, ABS sleeve, and Nitinol guidewire with hydrophilic coating (PE/PVP). Dimensions: 16 French, 42cm length.

The tube has three lumen for urinary drainage which is to be connected to a urine collection container, one lumen with two-way valve for inflation/deflation of a Foley balloon and one lumen for the integrated removable guidewire made of Nitinol with hydrophilic coating for the introduction of the catheter through the urethra into the bladder to negotiate any prostatic curve or tight external urethral sphincter, and also for irrigation of the bladder after guidewire removal. The UCD® is intended to be used to provide safe urinary tract access through the urethra and into the bladder and to pass fluids to and from the urinary bladder and to provide continuous bladder irrigation of fluids and drainage of urine from the urinary tract. The device is provided sterile and is intended for short-term use (<=30 days). {4}------------------------------------------------ The guidewire has a Female Luer Lock bonded to the proximal end using Medical Grade Cyanoacrylate adhesive. The Female Luer lock facilitates lubrication of the guidewire using a syringe filled with sterile water or saline and also prevents the guidewire from being advanced too far or from falling out of the catheter, as the female luer lock fits snugly into the end of the irrigation channel of the catheter which is also used as the guidewire channel. The guidewire protrudes from the tip of the catheter by 50cm and is inserted into the bladder first, automatically feeding the urethral catheter behind so that the urethral catheter is guided safely into the bladder. # DEVICE INDICATIONS FOR USE The Urethrotech Urethral Catheterization Device is intended for use for bladder management including urine drainage, collection and measurement and / or bladder fluid instillation or irrigation. CAUTION: Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. | Features | Subject Device | Primary<br>Predicate Device | Similarities and<br>Differences | |--------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------| | Sponsor | Urethrotech Ltd | Fortune Medical<br>Instrument Corp. | | | Brand Name | Urethrotech UCD | All Silicone 2-Way Foley<br>Balloon Catheter<br>All Silicone 3-Way Foley<br>Balloon Catheter<br>All Silicone Nelaton<br>Catheter | | | K number | N/A | K980919 | | | Classification<br>Name | Catheter, Retention Type,<br>Balloon | Catheter, Retention Type,<br>Balloon | | | Product Code | EZL | EZL | | | Regulation<br>Number | 876.5130 | 876.5130 | | | Class | II | II | | | Indications for Use | The Urethrotech UCD® is<br>intended for use for bladder<br>management including urine<br>drainage, collection and<br>measurement and/or bladder<br>fluid instillation | The Silicone Foley Balloon<br>Catheter and Nelaton<br>Catheter are intended for<br>use as urinary catheters to<br>pass fluids to and from the<br>urinary bladder | Same | | Patient Population | ADULT | ADULT | Same | | Use Environment | Hospitals, sub-acute settings | Hospitals, sub-acute<br>settings | | | Features | Subject Device | Primary<br>Predicate Device | Similarities and<br>Differences | | Principle of<br>Operation | Bladder management is<br>achieved by the manual<br>introduction of a silicone tube<br>to provide a means for urine<br>drainage, collection, and<br>measurement.<br>The main principle of operation<br>and mechanism to achieve the<br>intended effect is the purpose-<br>built integration of a non-<br>traumatic introducer guidewire<br>into the urethral catheter<br>design. | Bladder management is<br>achieved by the manual<br>introduction of a silicone<br>tube to provide a means<br>for urine drainage,<br>collection, and<br>measurement. | Same | | Description | 3 way Silicone Foley Balloon<br>catheter | 3 way Silicone Foley<br>Balloon catheter | Same | | Device Design | | | | | Main lumen | Urine drainage | Urine drainage | Same | | Second lumen | Inflation and deflation of<br>balloon | Inflation and deflation of<br>balloon | Same | | Third lumen –<br>open end | Guidewire/irrigation | irrigation | Same | | Open tip | Guidewire is integrated | No integrated guidewire | Different | | Balloon | Yes | Yes | Same | | Tip shape | Rounded | Rounded | Same | | French Size range | 16 | 14. 16. 18. 20. 22. 24.<br>26 | Similar | | Device Specifications | | | | | Working Length | 42cm +- 10mm | 40 cm | Different | | Balloon cuff | 4.9 x 5.3 x 365 | 4.9 x 5.3 x 365 | Same | | Balloon Inflation<br>volume mL | 5-10 mL | 5-10 mL | Same | | Check valves | 9.2 x 25.1 | 9.2 x 25.1 | Same | | Guidewire | 0.35" | N/A | Different | | Guidewire - length | 90 cm | N/A | Different | | Device Material Specifications | | | | | Tubing | silicone | silicone | Same | | Balloon Cuff | silicone | silicone | Same | | Check valves | Polyvinylchloride | Polyvinylchloride | Same | | Sleeve | ABS | ABS | Same | | Female Luer Lock | Terlux HD 2802 | N/A | Different | | Guidewire | Nitinol hydrophilic / PE/ PVP | N/A | Predicate does<br>not offer a<br>guidewire with<br>the device | | Features | Subject Device | Primary<br>Predicate Device | Similarities and<br>Differences | | Sterile | Yes | Yes | Same | | Indwell Time | Maximum indwell time of 30 days | Maximum indwell time of 30 days | Same | | Single Use | Yes | Yes | Same | | Biocompatibility | According to ISO 10993-1 | According to ISO 10993-1 | Same | ## COMPARISON OF TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS {5}------------------------------------------------ {6}------------------------------------------------ # PERFORMANCE TESTING The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
