Intended Use

The BioMonde Larval Debridement Therapy Products - BioBag 50/100/200/300/400 are indicated for debridement of non-healing necrotic skin and soft tissue wounds, including pressure ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, neuropathic foot ulcers, and nonhealing traumatic or post-surgical wounds.

Device Description

The BioMonde BioBag 50/100/200/300/400 products are live larvae, stage I and II, of the green bottle fly Lucilia sericata, provided within a sterile bag. They are manufactured in five (5) configurations:

  • BioBag 50: at least 50 larvae per container
  • BioBag 100: at least 100 larvae per container
  • BioBag 200: at least 200 larvae per container
  • BioBag 300: at least 300 larvae per container
  • BioBag 400: at least 400 larvae per container
    The larvae are derived from disinfected fly eggs. The BioBags are open mesh polyester bags that come in a variety of sizes based on the dose (number) of larvae to be used. The bags are used to constrain the larvae, preventing them from migrating from the wound. The bags also contain sterile PVA foam cubes that serve as spacers' in the BioBags to allow free movement of the larvae within the mesh bag.
    Larvae are transferred under controlled manufacturing conditions into sterilized bags after which they are placed into sterile transport tubes which are additionally pouched and boxed for transport. Upon arrival at the treatment location, the BioBags are applied to the wound and covered with permeable and absorbent dressings (not provided).
AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (BioMonde Larval Debridement Therapy Products - BioBag). This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through non-clinical testing. It does not describe a study that involves human readers or AI in a clinical setting. Therefore, many of the requested elements are not applicable.

Here's an analysis based on the available information:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance Criterion (Non-Clinical)Reported Device Performance
First Criterion: Clearly observable differences between the wet and dry mass consumed (in grams) for the loose and bagged larvae test samples when compared to a control group of BioBags with no larvae.Analysis of the mean values of both dry and wet mass consumed showed that the average mass consumed per 100 larvae for both loose and BioBag larvae product configurations was "much greater" than that of the control group (empty bags). The results for the bagged larvae were "much closer" to that of the loose larvae than the control. The document implies this "clearly observable difference" was demonstrated as mass consumed by larvae (bagged and loose) was significantly higher than the control where no larvae were present.
Second Criterion: Both the BioBag (modified device) and loose larvae (predicate device) product consume at least 30g of wet tissue over a 48-hour experiment per Blake et al., 2007 (equivalent to at least 5.53g of dry tissue).Wet Weight: - BioBag (modified device): 36.01g - Loose larvae (predicate device): 46.11g Both values are greater than the 30g wet tissue target. Dry Weight: - BioBag (modified device): 7.89g - Loose larvae (predicate device): 12.38g Both values are greater than the 5.53g dry tissue target.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

  • Sample Size: The document states that samples of free-range Larvae300 (parent device), the BioBag100 (modified device), and empty bags (control) were tested "in triplicate." This means there were 3 samples for each of the three groups (loose larvae, bagged larvae, control), for a total of 9 test samples in the activity assay.
  • Data Provenance: The study was a non-clinical, in-vitro laboratory test performed by BioMonde. The location of the testing is not explicitly stated in this summary, but BioMonde's contact address is in the United Kingdom.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and qualifications of those experts

Not applicable. This was a non-clinical performance test measuring tissue consumption by larvae, not a study involving human experts establishing ground truth for medical images or diagnoses.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

Not applicable. There was no human expert adjudication of results in this non-clinical performance test. Performance was measured objectively (mass consumed).

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

Not applicable. This document describes a non-clinical performance study of larval debridement therapy, not an MRMC study comparing human reader performance with and without AI assistance.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Not applicable. This is not an algorithm or AI device. The "performance" being evaluated is the biological activity of live maggots.

7. The type of ground truth used

The ground truth for the non-clinical performance study was based on:

  • Objective measurement: The actual wet and dry mass of dead tissue consumed by the larvae.
  • Scientific literature: The 30g/5.53g consumption target for the second acceptance criterion was derived from Blake et al., 2007, which established a benchmark for maggot debridement activity.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This is not a machine learning or AI device that requires a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable. As there is no training set for an AI/ML model, no ground truth needed to be established for it.

Technological CharacteristicsBioMonde LarvalDebridementTherapy Product –BioBag50/100/200/300/400BioMonde LarvalDebridementTherapy ProductK123449
Available in containers of varying numbers of larvaeYesYes
Larvae are removed from the growth medium using a loop or spoon andplaced into containers marked with fill heights for the dosage required.
The correct dosage of larvae is transferred to a sterile transport tube.No*Yes
The transport tubes containing the larvae are labeled, the tube is placedinto a pouch which is labeled and the pouch is placed into a labeledtransport box with the instructions for use.YesYes

The sole difference between the technological characteristics of the new and cleared product is that larvae are provided within the BioBag rather than as loose larvae. Comparative testing of the two products demonstrates that the application as free larvae as compared to application in constraining netting does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.

7. SUMMARY OF NON-CLINICAL PERFORMANCE TESTING AS BASIS FOR SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

presents non clinical testing that includes l`his premarket notification biocompatibility testing per ISO10993-1 and stability/shelf life testing. In addition, comparative testing that demonstrates that the product fulfills design and performance specifications is also provided. Side-by side-testing of the performance of the BioMonde BioBag, the parent BioMonde Larvae 100/200/300, and a control demonstrates substantial equivalence in performance. Testing utilized the BioMonde Larval Activity Assay, a method developed and validated by BioMonde to measure the consumption of dead tissue by a certain number of larvae under standardized conditions that are typical of chronic wounds. To mimic clinical conditions. the products were tested after overnight delivery to the test location. Samples of free range Larvae300 (parent device), the BioBag100 (modified device), and empty bags (identical to the BioBag product but without larvae) were tested in triplicate. The first acceptance criterion for this study was that clearly observable differences between the wet and dry mass consumed (in grams) for the loose and bagged larvae test samples were required when compared to a control group of BioBags with no larvae. The second acceptance criterion for this study was that both the BioBag and loose larvae product consume at least 30g of tissue over the 48 hour experiment per Blake et al., 2007 who showed that a single maggot was capable of debriding approximately 0.15g of dead tissue per day in a wound model (equating to 30g over a 2 dav period).

{3}------------------------------------------------

Testing was performed in compliance with prospectively defined procedures. Analysis of the mean values of both dry and wet mass consumed show that the average mass consumed per 100 larvae for both loose and BioBag larvae product configurations is much greater than that of the control group and the results for the bagged larvae are much closer to that of the loose larvae than the control. The second acceptance criterion was met by both the loose and the BioBag product configurations (46.11 and 36.01g respectively) with the dry weight target being 5.53g, again achieved by both loose and bagged larvae (12.38 and 7.89g respectively).

Based on the results, BioMonde concluded that while there is a difference in the overall consumption by loose larvae (cleared product) and BioBag configurations (modified product) under the conditions of this test, the difference does not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness. This difference in overall performance is covered by the labelling (instructions for use) for the product.
