Classification Name: Proprietary Name:
Hydrocolloid Dressing ULTEC PRO Ag+ Hydrocolloid Dressing
#### 3. Identification of Legally Marketed Device
The proposed device, Kendall ULTEC PRO Ag+ Hydrocolloid Dressing is substantially equivalent in intended use, function and composition to the Kendall ULTEC PRO Hydrocolloid Dressing (K943636), Arglaes Antimicrobial Film Dressing (K990810), and Contreet Hydrocolloid Dressing with silver (K013525).
#### 4. Device Description
The proposed Kendall ULTEC PRO Ag+ Hydrocolloid Dressing is a sterile, single use, highly flexible wound dressing designed for use on dry to lightly exudating wounds. ULTEC PRO Ag+ Hydrocolloid Dressing was designed to create and maintain a moist wound environment that is optimal for wound healing.
The alginate formulation of ULTEC PRO Ag+ releases anti-microbial silver and absorbs wound exudates. The release of anti-microbial silver enhances the barrier properties of the hydrocolloid by reducing bacterial growth on the dressing.
The proposed wound dressing consists of 65 % acrylic hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive, 25 % sodium alginate, and 10 % inorganic polymer containing silver.

#### 5. Device Intended Use
ULTEC PRO Ag+ Hydrocolloid Dressings are intended for use on venous stasis ulcers, pressure ulcers, arterial ulcers, diabetic ulcers, donor sites, lacerations, post surgical incisions, and other external wounds presenting dry to lightly exuding symptoms.
#### ్. Product Comparison
The proposed device has the same technological characteristics as the predicate devices. Both the proposed device and the Contreet Hydrocolloid Dressing with silver consist of a hydrocolloid base with added silver.
Both the proposed ULTEC PRO Aq+ Hydrocolloid Dressing and the Arglaes Dressing utilize a silver based antimicrobial agent that is formulated from ionic silver encapsulated in a water soluble polymer structure. The silver polymer matrix used in the Arglaes product contains the same elemental components as those used in the proposed device. The silver polymer used in these devices is obtained from the same manufacturer.
Both the predicate device, UTEC PRO Hydrocolloid Dressing and the proposed ULTEC PRO Ag+ Hydrocolloid Dressing contain adhesive and alginate.
#### 7. Nonclinical Testing
Biocompatibility testing of the proposed device has demonstrated that it meets the requirements of guidelines presented in the 10993 ISO Standard, Part 1, with the FDA modified matrix presented in memorandum G95-1.
