K760897 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the STERILE URETHRAL CATHETER KIT. Classified as Catheter, Urological (product code KOD), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Diamed Division Ill. Tool Works, Inc. (Mchenry, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on August 31, 1978 after a review of 674 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Gastroenterology & Urology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 876.5130 - the FDA gastroenterology and urology device framework. The Traditional 510(k) pathway establishes clearance through substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, without requiring clinical trial data.

Device pattern: High-complexity regulatory submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. The extended review timeline suggests the FDA required additional documentation before confirming substantial equivalence - a pattern common in complex or first-of-kind Gastroenterology & Urology submissions.
