Hangzhou Bever Medical Devices

Summary: Hydrophilic catheters by Hangzhou Bever Medical Devices are used for intermittent catheterization. Key evidence highlights ease of use and high clinician agreement.

FDA Clearance Information

Pathway 510K
Decision Date November 27, 2019
Product Code GBM
Device Class Class 2
Evidence 419 studies

The hydrophilic catheters were cleared through the FDA 510(k) pathway on November 27, 2019. Manufactured by Hangzhou Bever Medical Devices, they are classified as Class 2 medical devices.

What It Is

These are ready-to-use hydrophilic catheters designed for intermittent catheterization. They feature a hydrophilic coating that facilitates smooth insertion and removal, reducing friction and discomfort for patients.

Clinical Applications

Commonly used in scenarios requiring intermittent catheterization, such as in patients with incomplete bladder emptying. They are suitable for male, female, and pediatric patients.

Evidence Summary

The literature includes three studies, with a focus on product evaluation and user satisfaction. The studies span from 2015 to 2020 and include randomized controlled trials and retrospective analyses.

Reported Outcomes

Published studies report high clinician agreement (90%) on the ease of use and learning of these catheters. Patient feedback indicates an 89% rate of easy or very easy catheter insertion, with 80% finding the learning curve manageable.

Safety Profile

Reported complications include urinary tract infections, a common issue with intermittent catheterization. However, specific safety data from the provided studies is limited.

Evidence Limitations

The evidence is limited by the small number of studies and lack of detailed safety outcomes. Further research is needed to compare these catheters with other designs and to explore long-term safety and efficacy.
