This device is a Retention Catheter, Balloon Type with an integrated temperature sensor, designed for urinary bladder drainage. It combines the functionality of a standard Foley catheter with real-time temperature monitoring capabilities, enabling precise physiological assessment during use. The sensor allows clinicians to measure bladder temperature, which may be relevant in specific diagnostic or therapeutic contexts.
The Temperature Sensor Catheter is supplied as a single-use, sterile medical device, intended for insertion into the urinary bladder via the urethra. Available in 6FR size, it is regulated under FDA 510(k) clearance (K131020) and classified as a Class II device under the regulation 21 CFR 876.5130. It is non-magnetic and compatible with MRI environments when used as directed. Storage and handling follow standard aseptic protocols for urinary catheters.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Temperature Sensor Catheter used for?
This device combines the functionality of a standard Foley catheter with an integrated temperature sensor, enabling clinicians to measure bladder temperature in real-time. This feature is particularly useful in specific diagnostic or therapeutic contexts where physiological assessment is critical, such as monitoring for infections, inflammation, or other conditions where bladder temperature may provide clinically relevant insights.
How is the Temperature Sensor Catheter supplied and what are its sterility and reuse details?
The Temperature Sensor Catheter is supplied as a single-use, sterile medical device. It is intended for one-time use only and must not be reused or reprocessed. Sterility is maintained through standard manufacturing protocols, ensuring it is safe for immediate clinical use upon opening. Always follow aseptic handling procedures to preserve sterility before insertion.
What size is available for the Temperature Sensor Catheter, and does it come in multiple models?
The Temperature Sensor Catheter is available in a single size: 6 French (6FR). As of the provided data, there is no indication of additional models or sizes being offered. If multiple sizes are required for clinical use, this device may need to be paired with other standard Foley catheters.
Can the Temperature Sensor Catheter be used in an MRI environment?
Yes, the Temperature Sensor Catheter is explicitly noted as non-magnetic and compatible with MRI environments when used as directed. This means it can be safely utilized in patients undergoing MRI scans, provided standard MRI safety protocols are followed alongside the device’s instructions for use.
What regulatory approvals does the Temperature Sensor Catheter hold, and how is it classified?
The Temperature Sensor Catheter holds FDA 510(k) clearance under the reference number K131020, with a decision dated May 9, 2013. It is classified as a Class II medical device under the regulation 21 CFR 876.5130, which governs retention catheters. This classification indicates it has undergone a higher level of scrutiny to ensure its safety and effectiveness for its intended use.
