A nephrostomy catheter is a tube inserted percutaneously through the skin and into the renal pelvis to provide drainage of the kidney when normal urine flow through the ureter is obstructed due to stones, strictures, tumors, or post-surgical complications. This device is currently unclassified by the FDA, meaning a formal regulatory risk classification has not yet been established. It carries product code LJE and no regulation number or medical specialty has been assigned. No special flags apply to this device.

What is a Predicate Device?

A predicate device is a legally marketed device that a new 510(k) applicant uses to demonstrate substantial equivalence. The FDA's 510(k) pathway requires manufacturers to show that their device has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics as one or more predicate devices already cleared for commercial distribution.

Finding the right predicate is a critical step in 510(k) strategy. Manufacturers typically search for cleared devices with the same FDA product code, which groups devices by their intended use and regulatory classification. This tool helps you identify potential predicates by browsing all clearances within a product code.

Note that predicate devices must be legally marketed — they cannot be devices that were cleared but never commercialized, or devices subject to a mandatory recall. The determination of substantial equivalence considers intended use, technological characteristics, and performance data.
