Intended Use
3M™ Tegaderm™ Silver Nonwoven Dressing is indicated for use as a primary wound dressing over: - abrasions - ulcers - trauma wounds - surgical wounds - first and second degree burns - donor sites
Device Description
3M™ Tegaderm™ Silver Nonwoven Dressing is a nonwoven dressing that contains (8 mg/gm of dressing) of silver sulfate. Silver ions released from the silver sulfate create an effective barrier. The soft, absorbent dressing is supplied sterile and may be custom cut to fit the wound. The porous, non-occlusive dressing conforms to the wound base and wicks drainage into the dressing where in vitro studies show that the silver ions may reduce the number of microorganisms, including bacteria and yeast.
More Information

Not Found

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

Yes
The device is indicated for use as a primary wound dressing over various types of wounds, aiming to provide a barrier and reduce microorganisms, which falls under the definition of a therapeutic intervention.

No

The device is a wound dressing designed to cover and protect various types of wounds and reduce microorganisms, rather than diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "nonwoven dressing" containing silver sulfate, which is a physical material applied to wounds. This is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for wound dressing on various types of wounds. This is a topical application for treatment and protection, not for diagnosing a condition or analyzing a sample from the body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties of the dressing and the release of silver ions for an antimicrobial barrier. It doesn't mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other bodily fluid or sample. The performance studies focus on biocompatibility and in vitro reduction of microorganisms on the dressing itself, not on a patient sample.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.

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

Safety Studies – A standard battery of biocompatibility studies was conducted: Cytotoxicity, Intracutaneous Irritation in rabbits, and Skin Sensitization in guinea pigs. No deleterious effects were observed with 3M™ Tegaderm™ Silver Nonwoven Dressing : results were comparable to or better than those reported for Acticoat ™ Silver Coated Dressing. The results are those presented for the previously cleared device, 3MTM Tegaderm™ Silver Nonwoven Dressing, (K040890).

Effectiveness -- 3M™ Tegaderm™ Silver Nonwoven Dressing was compared with Acticoat ™ Silver Coated Dressing in in vitro reduction studies aqainst a known number of microorganisms, such as gramnegative and gram-positive bacteria and yeast (Candida albicans). The results of this study demonstrated that 3MTM Tegaderm™ Silver Nonwoven Dressing was substantially equivalent to Acticoat ™ Silver Coated Dressing effectiveness. The results are those presented for 3MTM Tegaderm™ Silver Nonwoven Dressing (K040890)

Description of Safety and Substantial Equivalence:

Safety Studies – A standard battery of biocompatibility studies was conducted: Cytotoxicity, Intracutaneous Irritation in rabbits, and Skin Sensitization in guinea pigs. No deleterious effects were observed with 3M™ Tegaderm™ Silver Nonwoven Dressing : results were comparable to or better than those reported for Acticoat ™ Silver Coated Dressing.
