Dated: May 28, 2025
Received: May 29, 2025
Dear Mona Advani:
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 (the 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 available 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.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device"

Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30, Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90, Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).
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 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reporting-combination-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 Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.
All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).

Device Description
The extriCARE® 1000 Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) System consists of a portable pump unit intended to generate vacuum pressure to remove low to moderate level of wound exudates, infectious material, and tissue debris from the wound bed. Three preset vacuum pressures can be selected by the user – 80, 100, and 125mmHg. The extriCARE® 1000 NPWT System is packaged and provided with the following components:
- extriCARE® 1000 Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Pump
- extriCARE® 1000 50cc Collection Canister
- Adapter Power Cord(5VDC)
- extriCARE® 1000 Bandage Dressing/K140634 (this component is provided separately)
Summary of Technological Characteristics
The extriCARE® 1000 pump shares the same operating principles with its predicate device, by having an air pump, a solenoid valve, and a pressure sensor working in conjunction to deliver a specific target vacuum pressure on the wound bed. When the therapy begins, air and wound exudate are removed from the underside of the dressing (wound bed) via the connection tubing into the collection canister until the target vacuum is reached. A pressure sensor inside the pump, along with a proprietary algorithm, approximates and monitors the pressure on the wound site. If a leakage on the wound dressing occurs, the device activates its air pump to remove air until the target vacuum is re-established. In the event that the actual vacuum pressure exceeds target vacuum pressure, a solenoid valve and a check valve will act to allow ambient air into the system to lower the vacuum pressure to the desired level. Modifications from the predicate device include a charger port to allow the device to be powered directly by a 5VDC and a software automatic system locking feature to minimize the risk of accidental settings changes.

Summary of Non-Clinical Testing
Non-clinical and appropriate IEC testing has been completed to demonstrate that the extriCARE® 1000 NPWT pump is performing as intended, has performance characteristic that are substantially equivalent to the listed predicate device, and conforms to internal standards and regulations. Software verification and validation activities were completed to support the modifications to the system. Based on the device's intended use, the design of the device, and the risks of the device software function(s) in the context of the device's intended use, Alleva Medical Devices determined that Enhanced software documentation was required and completed. During the validation activities all activities met requirements, and no unresolved anomalies were found.
