Overview
AI-generated summary, 19 Sep 2026
This device is a Modified Foley Catheter with Temperature Sensor, classified as a urological catheter under FDA nomenclature. It combines a standard Foley catheter with an integrated temperature-sensing mechanism to monitor bladder temperature during use, enabling clinical assessment of patient physiology.
The device is intended for single-use in clinical settings, including hospitals and urology practices, and has received FDA 510(k) clearance under the Substantially Equivalent determination (K874525). It is not MRI-compatible, and no regulatory status beyond the stated clearance is implied. Supplied sterile, it adheres to FDA regulation 876.5130 for urological catheters and is distributed under the product code KOD.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026
What clinical settings is this device intended for and how does the temperature sensor feature benefit patients?
This Modified Foley Catheter with Temperature Sensor is designed for single-use in clinical settings like hospitals and urology practices. The integrated temperature sensor allows clinicians to monitor bladder temperature during use, which can help assess patient physiology—such as hydration status, fever, or other systemic conditions—without requiring additional invasive procedures.
Is this device reusable or single-use, and how should it be stored to maintain sterility?
The device is explicitly intended for single-use only, as stated in the manufacturer’s specifications. It is supplied sterile, so storage should follow sterile packaging guidelines: keep in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures until use. Avoid contamination by ensuring the packaging remains intact until deployment.
What regulatory pathway was followed for FDA clearance, and does this device have any MRI compatibility?
The device received FDA 510(k) clearance under the Substantially Equivalent determination (K874525), filed in 1987 and classified under urological catheters (product code KOD). Importantly, the device is not MRI-compatible, so it should not be used in MRI environments. The clearance does not imply broader regulatory status beyond this specific submission.
Are there multiple sizes or models available for this catheter, and how would I determine the correct fit for a patient?
The provided data lists multiple FEI numbers (e.g., 1825146, 3030447506) and registration numbers, which typically correspond to different sizes or variations of the device. While exact sizing details (e.g., French sizes) aren’t specified here, these identifiers suggest availability in standard urological catheter sizes. Clinicians should refer to the manufacturer’s packaging or catalog for size-specific guidance to ensure proper patient fit.
