Indications for Use
The BioMonde Larval Debridement Therapy Products - Larvae 100/200/300 are indicated for debridement of non-healing necrotic skin and soft tissue wounds, including pressure ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, neuropathic foot ulcers, and non-healing traumatic or postsurgical wounds. 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 non-healing traumatic or post-surgical wounds.
Device Story
Device consists of live stage I and II larvae of green bottle fly (Lucilia sericata); used for larval debridement therapy. Larvae are either loose or contained within sterile BioBag. Applied to necrotic wounds and covered with permeable/absorbent dressings. Larvae consume necrotic tissue; aid in wound debridement. Modification involves replacing liver-based feed for stock flies with pharmaceutical-grade 'Carnival Diet' to reduce viral transmission risk. Device is used in clinical settings; applied by healthcare providers. Benefits include effective debridement of non-healing wounds.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data included. Bench testing only. Performance compared across five generations of larvae reared on Carnival Diet versus liver-fed controls, assessing larval duration, pupae weight, hatch success, egg yield, protein consumption, and enzyme patterns.
Technological Characteristics
Live Lucilia sericata larvae (stage I/II). Rearing medium: 'Carnival Diet' (pharmaceutical-grade animal-derived nutrients). Disinfection: 7.2% formaldehyde and 3.9% peracetic acid. Packaging: sterile transport tubes/pouches. No electronic or software components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for debridement of non-healing necrotic skin and soft tissue wounds, including pressure ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, neuropathic foot ulcers, and non-healing traumatic or post-surgical wounds in patients requiring wound debridement.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Phaenicia sericacta (blow fly) larvae are harvested and provided disinfected for use in debriding non-healing necrotic skin and soft tissue wounds, including pressure ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, neuropathic foot ulcers, and non-healing traumatic or post surgical wounds.

#### 4. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The BioMonde Larval Debridement Therapy Products - Larvae 100/200/300 and BioMonde BioBag 50/100/200/300/400 products are live larvae, stage I and II, of the green bottle fly Lucilia sericata, provided either loose or within a sterile bag, respectively. The larvae are derived from disinfected fly eggs. Larvae are transferred under controlled manufacturing conditions into sterilized transport tubes or sterilized bags which are then placed into sterile transport tubes. These tubes are additionally pouched and boxed for transport. Upon arrival at the treatment location, they are applied to the wound and covered with permeable and absorbent dressings (not provided).
{4}------------------------------------------------
The modification to these products consists of replacing the feed used for stock flies from liver to a special mixture of nutrients called the "Carnival Diet". The Carnival Diet is also used to rear new fly generations and as a medium to induce egg laying. The reason for changing to this feeding material is to reduce the risk of transmission of viruses by removing the use of unprocessed animal organs and change to using pharmaceutical-grade animal-derived material.
## 5. INDICATION FOR USE/INTENDED USE
The BioMonde Larval Debridement Therapy Products - Larvae 100/200/300 are indicated for debridement of non-healing necrotic skin and soft tissue wounds, including pressure ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, neuropathic foot ulcers, and non-healing traumatic or postsurgical wounds.
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 non-healing traumatic or post-surgical wounds.
## 6. SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS COMPARED TO THE PREDICATE DEVICE/S
The technological characteristics of the modified BioMonde Larval Debridement Therapy Products are unchanged from that of the cleared parent devices with the sole difference being that flies raised on the Carnival Diet do not lay their eggs on liver.

#### 7. SUMMARY OF NON-CLINICAL PERFORMANCE TESTING AS BASIS FOR SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
This Premarket Notification presents bench testing that demonstrates that the product, as modified by changing the feed of the stock flies from liver to the special mixture of nutrients called the "Carnival Diet" fulfills the same design and performance specifications disclosed in the cleared 510(k)s for the BioMonde Larvae 100/300/300 and BioBag 50/100/200/300/400.
Non-clinical testing of stock flies and larvae was performed to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of design and performance of flies and larvae reared with liver (predicate control) and flies and larvae reared with the Carnival Diet (proposed modified product). Testing consisted of the following:
- 1. Monitoring of the 4 descriptive parameters for fly colony health & fitness (larval duration, pupae weight, pupae hatch success and egg vield); and
- 2. Performance of the Larval Activity Assay (consumption of protein by a set number of the larvae over a 2-day period in a defined apparatus) and enzyme pattern of larval secretions.
The results obtained using the Carnival Diet for five (5) generations were compared with those observed with flies and larvae fed with liver (control). The comparative testing demonstrates that the flies and larvae reared with Carnival Diet appear to be slightly smaller in size but are as healthy and effective in terms of debridement activity as those derived from flies reared on liver. No difference in enzyme patterns was found between the control and the Carnival Diet groups. Testing across generations indicates that adaptation to the Carnival Diet over at least 3 generations is necessary to assure satisfactory performance.
When the proposed product is compared to flies and larvae of the two predicate devices, the proposed product is substantially equivalent in performance.
#### 8. SUMMARY OF CLINICAL TESTING AS BASIS FOR SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
No clinical data were included in this Traditional 510(k) Premarket Notification.
# 9. SUMMARY OF OTHER INFORMATION
Other information provided in this Traditional 510(k) Premarket Notification includes manufacturing information which is fundamentally unchanged from that of the cleared devices.
{7}------------------------------------------------
#### 10. CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM NON-CLINICAL AND CLINICAL TESTS
Based on the information provided in this Traditional 510(k) Premarket Notification, BioMonde has determined that the products as modified are substantially equivalent, that differences are minor, and do not raise new safety and effectiveness questions.
