DEVICE: ACUCISE® PROCEDURAL PACK UNIVERSAL PACK A (20607915128122)

A collection of devices used to facilitate the implantation of a ureteral stent, via the natural orifice or percutaneously through a tortuous ureter, in order to maintain ureteral patency. The devices are typically made of high-grade stainless steel and/or a polymer [e.g., polyvinyl chloride (PVC)] and typically include a guidewire, a dilator, a positioner, an inserter, a placement catheter, an introduction sheath, and a release sleeve. Some of the devices may be radiopaque, and may have Luer connectors at the proximal end to allow for the injection of a contrast medium. This is a single-use device.

A sterile non-bioabsorbable tubular device intended to be implanted in an obstructed ureter (e.g., from stone, stricture, compression, fibrosis, trauma) to maintain luminal patency allowing urine to drain from the renal pelvis to the bladder. It is made of a synthetic polymer(s) [e.g., polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyethylene (PE), silicone], sometimes with a hydrophilic coating (e.g., hydrogel), and may have various designs (e.g., continuous tube with or without drainage side holes, covered or non-covered mesh structure). Disposable devices intended to assist implantation may be included. The device is typically intended for long-term, but not permanent, implantation.

A flexible tube designed for introduction into the ureters through a cystoscope, ureteroscope or nephroscope. It is typically a 3 to 12 Fr radiopaque tube with one of several tip configurations (e.g., straight, bent, olive). It may have a single or double-lumen and graduated markings. The device is used for ureter dilation, bypass of partial obstructions, urinary tract irrigation/drainage during surgery (e.g., injection of contrast agent, anaesthetic agent and/or antiretropulsion gel), stone removal, retrograde urography, guidewire placement, and/or brush biopsy. This is a single-use device.

A metal coil or wire intended to assist the insertion/positioning of a diagnostic/therapeutic device(s) [e.g., endoscope, catheter] within the gastrointestinal (GI) and/or urinary tract. It is typically coated with a plastic material [e.g., polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), commonly known as Teflon, or polyethylene (PE)]. It may have radiopaque graduated markings at the distal end to assist in the fluoroscopic monitoring of its advancement/position within the body. This is a single-use device.
