This report is being submitted past the regulatory timeframe.The device was not returned for evaluation.The lot number is unknown therefore the device history record could not be reviewed.The instructions for use were found adequate and state the following:
¿the catheter is intended for urinary bladder drainage in adult males and
females requiring catheterization for management of incontinence, voiding
dysfunction, and surgical procedures.Efficacy of the catheter in preventing
urinary tract infection during intermittent use has not been established.The device is not intended to be used as a treatment for active urinary
tract infection.Please contact your physician to determine which product options are
best for you, paying close attention to product warnings/ precautions and
adverse reactions.Instructions for use:
the catheter becomes slippery when wetted with water, eliminating the
need for a separate lubricant.For your added convenience, this catheter
is packaged with its own sterile water.Simply release the water from its
foil packet and then tip the un-opened catheter package end-to-end.The
catheter acts like a magnet to attract the water and activate its slippery
coating.Follow these steps for best results.1.Release the water:
prior to opening the sealed catheter pouch:
a.Apply pressure to the foil packet
to release the water.B.Ensure all water is released from
the foil packet.2.Wet the catheter:
a.Hold package with printed side up.B.Tip package end-to-end three to six times to
wet catheter.This movement is required so
that the water transfers back and forth over
the catheter to fully wet the hydrophilic
coating.3.Use the catheter:
a.Peel back package to expose funnel end
of catheter.B.If desired, use the self-adhesive tape on the package to temporarily
attach the pouch to any dry vertical surface.C.Remove catheter and use according to physician¿s instructions."
