Intended Use
X-Static® SILVERSEAL™ Contact Wound Dressings are sterile, non-adherent dressings intended for local management of partial thickness burns, incisions, skin grafts, donor sites, lacerations, abrasions, and Stage I-IV dermal ulcers (vascular, venous, pressure, and diabetic).
Device Description
X-Static® SILVERSEAL™ Contact Wound Dressings are designed to intimately contact the wound as a primary dressing and permit the passage of fluids. The silver provides effective protection of the dressing against microbial contamination. The nylon fabric permits the passage of oxygen and fluids to and from the wound. The surface of the nylon fibers in X-Static® SILVERSEAL™ Contact Wound Dressing consists of a thin layer of metallic silver containing approximately 1% silver oxide that provides effective protection of the dressing against microbial contamination. X-Static® SILVERSEAL™ Contact Wound Dressings are made of flexible, sterile, non-adherent fabric consisting of 1 or 4 layers of a knitted continuous nylon fiber substrate with a metallic silver surface containing approximately 1% silver oxide.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the material properties and antimicrobial effects of silver in a wound dressing, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

Yes
The device is intended for the local management of various types of wounds, indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No

Explanation: The device is a wound dressing designed for local management of wounds, not for diagnosing any condition.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a physical wound dressing made of nylon fabric with a metallic silver surface. It is a tangible product, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is a "Contact Wound Dressing" for the "local management" of various types of wounds. This describes a device that is applied directly to the body for therapeutic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical dressing made of fabric and silver, designed to be in contact with a wound. This aligns with a topical medical device, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition. The function described is wound management and protection against microbial contamination of the dressing itself.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on biocompatibility and in vitro studies related to the dressing's properties, not on diagnostic accuracy or the detection of biomarkers.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Summary of Performance Studies

X-Static SILVERSEAL 1-Layer and 4-Layer Contact Wound Dressings were subjected to standard in vivo biocompatibility tests including cytotoxicity, sensitization, and acute intracutaneous reactivity. All tests were performed in accordance with Part-10993 of the International Standard Organization (ISO) Standard (Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices) by North American Science Associates, Inc. (NAMSA). All claims are the result of In Vitro studies and have not been studied in a clinical setting. The studies indicated that X-Static SILVERSEAL 1 Layer and 4 Layer Contact Wound Dressings are safe for their intended use.
