KELOCOTE SCAR GEL: FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF HYPERTROPHIC SCARS AND KELOID SCARS AND ASSOCIATED ERYTHEMA SECONDARY TO ANY TRAUMA CAUSING SCARS KELOCOTE LASER GEL: FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF HYPERTROPHIC SCARS AND KELOID SCARS AND ERYTHEMA SECONDARY TO LASER RESURFACING

Device Description

Kelocote Scar Gel and Kelocote Laser Gel are topical silicone elastomer products. Kelocote Gel is described as an amorphous paste with minimal to no elasticity or strength. Kelocote Gel in one form will contain Titanium Oxid or Zinc Oxide for color and concistency. Kelocote is manufactured from Applied Silicone's LSR-30 and or Nusil Technology's MED 4210 and 4211 Silicone Rubber MAF 612.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called "Kelocote Scar Gel and Kelocote Laser Gel." The purpose of a 510(k) submission is to demonstrate that a new device is "substantially equivalent" to a legally marketed predicate device, meaning it is as safe and effective as a similar device already on the market and does not require premarket approval.

Based on the provided text, there is no acceptance criteria or study data presented in the format requested. The document primarily focuses on the device's intended use, physical properties, and packaging, along with the FDA's decision regarding its substantial equivalence.

Here's why the requested information cannot be extracted:

  • Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance: The document states that Kelocote Scar Gel and Kelocote Laser Gel are "substantially equivalent" to Kelocote Gel of Allied Biomedical, which was in turn found "SE to PMT's Gel Sheeting." This is the basis for market clearance, not specific performance metrics or acceptance criteria for a new study. There are no tables of performance metrics.
  • Sample Size, Ground Truth, Adjudication, MRMC, Standalone Study, Training Set Information: Since no new performance study is described, none of this information (sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, or training set details) is available in the provided text. The FDA's substantial equivalence determination rarely requires new clinical trials if equivalence can be demonstrated through other means (e.g., comparison to a predicate device's characteristics and historical use).

In summary, the document is an FDA clearance letter based on substantial equivalence, not a report of a performance study with acceptance criteria.

510 (k) Summary

Substantial Equivalence:

Kelocote Scar Gel and Kelocote Laser Gel are topical silicone elastomer products that are substantially equivalent to Kelocote Gel of Allied Biomedical. Allied Biomedical's kelocote was found SE to PMT's Gel Sheeting.

Intended Use:

The intended use of Kelocote Scar and Kelocote Laser Gels are for . the management of hypertrophic scars and associated erythema which is commonly associated with scars in the first few months post trauma. Kelocote Scar Gel is applied in a very thin coat and the excess is wiped away. This forms a thin sheet on the skin which is very nearly invisible.

Physical and Chemical Properties:

Kelocote Gel is described as an amorphous paste with minimal to no elasticity or strength. Kelocote Gel in one form will contain Titanium Oxid or Zinc Oxide for color and concistency. Kelocote is manufactured from Applied Silicone's LSR-30 and or Nusil Technology's MED 4210 and 4211 Silicone Rubber MAF 612.

Package Description:

Packaging will consist of aluminum tubes of varying volumes from 1/6 ounce to 2 ounces. Tubes will be blind mouth with crimped ends. Tubes will be shipped individually or in boxes of 12 in corrugated protective outer boxes.

Dear Ms. Richardson:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements , as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
