Intended Use

IODOFLEX is indicated for use in managing wet ulcers and wounds such as venous stasis ulcers, pressure sores, and infected traumatic and surgical wounds. IODOFLEX assists in wound area protection and in reducing the microbial load in the wound dressing, retards eschar formation and keeps the lesion soft and pliable.

Device Story

IODOFLEX is a wound dressing consisting of biodegradable spherical hydrophilic cadexomer beads (approx. 0.1mm diameter) incorporating 0.9% iodine in a polyethylene glycol base. The beads feature a 3D cross-linked dextrin network; this structure allows molecules <1,000 MW to enter freely, restricts molecules 1,000–5,000 MW, and excludes molecules >5,000 MW. Applied topically to wet ulcers and wounds by clinicians, the dressing protects the wound area, reduces microbial load, retards eschar formation, and maintains lesion pliability. It functions as a physical/chemical wound management agent rather than an electronic device.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on the identical technological characteristics and formulation to the predicate device.

Technological Characteristics

Biodegradable spherical hydrophilic cadexomer beads (approx. 0.1mm diameter) composed of cross-linked dextrin; 0.9% w/w iodine; polyethylene glycol base. 3D macromolecular network acts as a molecular sieve based on molecular weight (cutoff <1,000 to >5,000 MW). Non-electronic, topical wound dressing.

Indications for Use

Indicated for management of wet ulcers and wounds, including venous stasis ulcers, pressure sores, and infected traumatic and surgical wounds. No specific age or gender restrictions provided.

Ana Castillo Senior Regulatory Affairs Specialist 101 Hessle Road Hull East Riding of Yorkshire, HU3 2BN GB Re: K190756 Trade/Device Name: IODOFLEX Regulatory Class: Unclassified Product Code: FRO Dated: October 1, 2019 Received: October 3, 2019 ### Dear Ana Castillo: We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part {1}------------------------------------------------ 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4. Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.

The beads are composed of a three dimensional network of macromolecular chains of cross linked dextrin which is large enough to allow substances with a molecular weight of less than 1,000 to enter freely. As with all products having these characteristics, substances with a molecular weight of 1000 - 5000 enter the beads less freely, while those with a molecular weight greater than 5000 remain in the interspaces between the beads. ### Indications for Use IODOFLEX is indicated for use in managing wet ulcers and wounds such as venous stasis ulcers, pressure sores, and infected traumatic and surgical wounds. IODOFLEX assists in wound area protection and in reducing the microbial load in the wound dressing, retards eschar formation and keeps the lesion soft and pliable. ### Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device No changes have been made to the product other than labeling changes (e.g. contraindications, precautions/warnings). As the changes to the labeling do not affect the product performance, the product remains substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
