Device Description
The subject BD Surgiphor™ 1000 mL Antimicrobial Irrigation System is a terminally sterilized 1000 mL aqueous solution for irrigation and debridement of wounds. The device includes one bottle of Surgiphor™ solution (0.5% povidone-iodine) which is used to loosen and remove wound debris via manual lavage or a powered lavage device. Components are included with the bottle in the system tray to support each lavage type; one screw cap for manual irrigation and one adaptor and one Y-connector for powered irrigation. The mechanical action of fluid moving across the wound provides the mechanism of action and aids in the loosening and removal of debris, and foreign materials, including microorganisms, from wounds. The povidone-iodine in the Surgiphor™ solution serves as a preservative to ensure that no microbial growth occurs in the solution after the bottle is open.
Indications for Use
BD Surgiphor™ 1000 mL Antimicrobial Irrigation System is intended to mechanically loosen and remove debris, and foreign materials, including microorganisms, from wounds.
Comparison of Technological Characteristics
The subject device is substantially equivalent to its predicate, predecessor BD Surgiphor™ Antimicrobial Irrigation System (K221504). Table 1 compares the subject and predicate devices.
The subject device is unchanged from the legally marketed predicate BD Surgiphor™ Antimicrobial Irrigation System (K221504) in its intended use, solution composition, and primary mechanism of action, specifically, to mechanically loosen and remove debris, and foreign materials, including microorganisms, from wounds. The mechanism of action is defined by the fluid pressure of the solution dispensed upon a wound.
This 510(k) proposes a new configuration of the Surgiphor solution in a 1000 mL bottle with components to allow for use with a powered lavage device. A powered lavage device is not included with the subject device as they are readily available to users. The instructions for use of the subject device instructs users to use either a manual lavage configuration, similar to the predicate device Surgiphor™ (K221504), or a powered lavage configuration. The powered lavage configuration allow users to connect the 1000 mL bottle by spiking the adaptor directly or using the optional Y-connector to dispense the Surgiphor solution through a powered lavage device. The Surgiphor solution remains unchanged 0.5% povidone-iodine (PVP-I) in phosphate-buffered saline with potassium iodide and Vitamin E TPGS from the predicate device. Due to the new configuration, a new packaging was designed to accommodate the additional components and bottle size. The labeling has been designed to instruct the users on how to use the subject device in either configuration, manual or powered.
With the manual screw cap and Surgiphor solution remaining unchanged from the predicate device, the previously provided testing in K221504 and previous 510(k)s remains valid. For the subject device, there is no change to the intended use, and the change does not raise new safety and effectiveness concerns. Substantial equivalence has been demonstrated through conformity to standards and design verification and validation testing.
