You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. U.S. Food & Drug Administration 10903 New Hampshire Avenue Silver Spring, MD 20993 www.fda.gov {1} K262056 - Yuvaanesswary Nallappan Page 2 Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download). Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR) (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, ISO 13485 clause 7.3 (Design controls), ISO 13485 clause 8.3 (Nonconforming product), ISO 13485 clause 8.5.2 (Corrective action), and ISO 13485 clause 8.5.3 (Preventative action). Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QMSR requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (ISO 13485 clause 7.3 and ISO 13485 clause 7.5) and document changes and approvals in the Medical Device File (ISO 13485 clause 4.2.3). 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); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reporting-combination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR) (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050. All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).

Comparison to the Predicate The subject device, Rüsch Latex Gold Foley Catheters, is currently cleared under K232469 and manufactured by Teleflex Medical Sdn. Bhd. The device is being transferred to Teleflex Medical IDA Business and Technology Park, Athlone, Ireland, as the Legal Manufacturer, with manufacturing to be performed by Teleflex Medical Private Ltd., Puducherry, India. The subject device has the same intended use, indications for use, and fundamental technological characteristics as the predicate device, Rüsch Gold Foley Catheter (K232469). Both devices are sterile, single-use, short-term indwelling balloon catheters made from natural latex and intended for transurethral bladder drainage in pediatric and adult patients for up to 30 days. Both devices incorporate the same key design features, including 2-way and 3-way lumen configurations, a retention balloon, a proximal funnel and inflation valve, and gamma sterilization. Following the manufacturing transfer, the subject device will be manufactured at the Puducherry facility using its established manufacturing processes, materials, inspection procedures, and sterilization method. The primary difference between the subject device and the predicate device is the use of pre-vulcanized latex instead of vulcanized latex. The pre-vulcanized latex formulation was not previously reviewed under the K232469 clearance. However, the subject and predicate devices are both manufactured of natural latex. # K. Summary of Non-Clinical Testing - Biocompatibility tests was conducted per ISO 10993-1– Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices -Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process: - Cytotoxicity - Sensitization - Intracutaneous Irritation - Material Mediated Pyrogenicity - Acute Systemic Toxicity - Subacute Toxicity - Implantation Test - Genotoxicity - Sterilization validation was conducted per the following FDA-recognized standards: - ISO 11137-1 – Sterilization of healthcare products – Radiation – Part 1: Requirements for development, validation and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices. - ISO 11137-2– Sterilization of healthcare products – Radiation – Part 2: Establishing the sterilization dose. Teleflex Medical Page 5 of 6 {9} K262056 Page 6 of 6 510(k) Summary Rüsch Latex Gold Foley Catheter ○ ISO 11737-2 Sterilization of medical devices. Microbiological methods – Part 2: Tests of sterility performed in the definition, validation and maintenance of a sterilization process. • Transportation simulation, package integrity testing, and shelf-life evaluation were performed to demonstrate that the subject device packaging can withstand the rigors of shipping and distribution while maintaining the sterile barrier system (SBS) throughout transportation and the claimed shelf life. Testing was conducted in accordance with EN ISO 11607-1, ASTM F2096, ASTM F1886/F88M, ASTM F88/F88M, ASTM D4169, and ASTM D4322. • Performance/Functional testing was conducted per ASTM F623: Standard Performance Specification for Foley Catheter and ISO 20696: Sterile Urethral Catheters for Single Use. • MR safety and compatibility testing was performed per ASTM F2052, ASTM F2213, ASTM F2182, ASTM F2119 and ASTM F2503. The device was determined to be MR Conditional when used under the specific conditions defined in the device labeling. L. Conclusion The **Rusch Latex Gold Foley Catheters** have the same intended use and technological characteristics as the predicate. Although the subject device uses a different latex formulation than the predicate device, both the subject and predicate are made from natural rubber latex. Test results demonstrate that the subject devices meet their intended use and perform as well as the legally marketed predicate device. It is for these reasons that the subject device can be found to be substantially equivalent.
