Intended Use
BioDerm Sciences Wound Cream is intended to externally manage dermal lessions such as lacerations, post-operative (surgical) wounds, partial and full-thickness wounds, 15 and 200 as racerations, post operative (cargenous stasis, pressure). It may also be used in conjunction with a dressing that absorbs fluids (i.e. gauze, gel, alginate, foam, hydrocolloid).
Device Description
BioDerm Sciences Wound cream is an aqueous-based, acidic zinc/iron-saline cream for external wound management. It aids the body in the healing process by providing a moist, low pH wound environment and providing essential minerals. BioDerm Sciences Wound Cream is supplied in 100 g aluminum tubes. A metal seal at the tip of the tube must be broken in order to use the contents, thus rendering the packaging tamper-resistant. The dressing is applied by squeezing the cream from the tube onto the affected skin.

No
The device description and intended use describe a topical cream for wound management, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Description of the training set..." sections are explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The device is intended to manage dermal lesions and aids in the healing process by providing a moist, low pH wound environment and essential minerals, which are therapeutic actions.

No

Explanation: The device is a wound cream intended for external wound management and aids the body in the healing process. It does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device is a cream, which is a physical substance, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the external management of dermal lesions (wounds) on the body. This is a topical application for therapeutic purposes.
  • Device Description: The device is a cream applied externally to the skin.
  • Lack of In Vitro Activity: IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such analysis.

The device is a wound care product intended for direct application to the wound, which falls under the category of a medical device, but not an IVD.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

BioDerm Sciences Wound cream is intended for external management of minor abrasions, lacerations, cuts, scalds, and 14 and 2nd burns. It can be used in conjunction with a conventional dressing that absorbs fluids (i.c. gauze, gcl, alginate, foam, hydrocolloid).

Device Description

BioDerm Sciences Wound cream is an aqueous-based, acidic zinc/iron-saline cream for external wound management. It aids the body in the healing process by providing a moist, low pH wound environment and providing essential minerals.

BioDcrm Sciences Wound cream is similar in chemical composition to the previously approved BioDerm Sciences Wound Solution. Although the zinc chloride and iron chloride contents are similar, the pH value is somewhat higher (ph 3.0-3.4 vs. 2.8); and other trace elements have been added, making it somewhat more comparable in content to BioDerm Sciences Wound Spray. Unlike BioDerm Sciences Wound Solution and Spray, this product is applied as a cream. BioDerm Sciences Wound Cream is supplied in 100 g aluminum tubes. A metal seal at the tip of the tube must be broken in order to use the contents, thus rendering the packaging tamper-resistant. The dressing is applied by squeezing the cream from the tube onto the affected skin.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

A study of various formulations of with varying strength levels of the metallic salts, performed at the University of Miami (Department of Dermatology & Cutaneous Surgery) using a porcine model demonstrated the effectivencss of the solutions contained in the BioDerm Wound Cream as an and to the body's healing of burns, and partial thickness wounds. No sensitization was demonstrated in tests with guinea pigs and no toxicity was observed in mice receiving intraperitoneal injections. The identical product has been marketed in Europe for fourteen years under the name "NAWA, Medical Elektrolyt-Salbe S" with satisfactory performance and no reports of adverse side effects. The Elektrolyt-Salbe is registered as Klasse IIa with registration number: DE/CA65/622-2678.1N4/8.

BioDcrm Sciences Wound cream is contraindicated for use when patients are known to have had allergic reactions to this dressing or its components. It is not suitable for use on third degree burns, or for any wound for which the dermis has been severely damaged or is missing.

Comparison of Technological Characteristics:

The FDA has cleared a number of wet dressings for marketing. All have in common that they are saline solutions based on sodium chloride or metallic salts with a pH less than or equal to 7 (i.e. acidic). They may or may not contain additives such as nutrients. BioDerm Sciences Wound Cream contains similar proportions and amounts of zinc chloride and iron chloride as the predicate devices BioDerm Sciences Wound Solution and Wound Spray. Like the Dermagran Wound Management System, which is essentially a lanolin-based ointment containing zinc chloride and other nutrients, the water-based BioDerm Sciences Wound Cream is applicd and used as a wound cover or filler.

A broad range of chemical compositions is currently available. The chemical composition of BioDerm Sciences Wound Cream is within the range of chemical compositions of these predicate devices and is substantially equivalent in terms of its safety and effectivencss. (See Table 2)

Performance:

A study of various formulations of with varying strength levels of the metallic salts, performed at the University of Miami (Department of Dermatology & Cutaneous Surgery) using a porcine model demonstrated the effectivencss of the solutions contained in the BioDerm Wound Cream as an and to the body's healing of burns, and partial thickness wounds. No sensitization was demonstrated in tests with guinea pigs and no toxicity was observed in mice receiving intraperitoneal injections.

The Elektrolyt-Salbe is registered as Klasse IIa with registration number: DE/CA65/622-2678.1N4/8.

Conclusions:

When used as directed, BioDerm Scicnces Wound Cream is safe and effective as a wound dressing.
