Intended Use
The Allevyn Ag Dressings are indicated for use in light to moderately exuding partial and full thickness wounds including decubitus ulcers, diabetic ulcers, 1st and 2nd degree burns, and donor sites. Allevyn Ag may be used over debrided and partial thickness wounds.
Device Description
Allevyn Ag has a trilaminate structure composed of a polyurethane top film, polyurethane central Silver Sulfadiazine (SSD) containing foam pad and polyurethane perforated wound contact film. This design allows Allevyn Ag to provide continual exudate absorption and barrier protection for up to seven days, while creating and maintaining a moist wound-healing environment in a presentation that is comfortable for the patient and easy to use, apply and remove for the user.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a wound dressing with a physical structure and chemical properties, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is a dressing used for wound healing, which falls under the definition of a therapeutic device.

No
The device is a wound dressing designed for healing and protection, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical dressing with a trilaminate structure composed of polyurethane films and foam, indicating it 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 clearly states that the Allevyn Ag Dressings are for use on wounds on the body (decubitus ulcers, diabetic ulcers, burns, donor sites). This is a topical application for wound management.
  • Device Description: The description details a dressing with a trilaminate structure designed for exudate absorption and barrier protection on a wound. This is consistent with a wound care product applied externally.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, tissue) to diagnose a condition or provide information about a physiological state. IVDs are used in vitro (in glass, or outside the body) to analyze biological samples.

The in-vitro testing mentioned in the "Summary of Performance Studies" refers to testing the dressing's barrier characteristics against bacteria in a lab setting, not using the dressing to diagnose a condition in a patient.

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

In-vitro testing studies showed that Allevyn Ag dressing has demonstrated to have barrier characteristics to bacterial strains: P. geruginosa, S. aureus, E. coli, K. pneumoniae, A. calcoaceticus, S. pyogenes, E. faccalis, MRSA, C. perfringens, B. fragilis, and P. melaninogenica. The biocompatibility of Allevyn Ag has been demonstrated through appropriate in vivo and in vitro tests on the foam as well as a literature review for the use of SSD. The product has been assessed in accordance with ANSI/AAMI/ISO 10993 and does not introduce any additional safety risk over the predicate devices Acticoat Moisture Control (K050030) or Allevyn Foam (K963096).

5. Device classification and Panel

A final classification for "Dressing" has not been implemented; however, a Class II classification has been proposed by the General and Plastic Surgery Devices Panel. At this time however, Classification Code FRO is unclassified.

6. Predicate devices

Allevyn Ag is similar in form and function to Acticoat Moisture Control Dressing (K050030) while being a modification of the Allevyn Foam Dressing (K963096) via the incorporation of Silver Sulfadiazine (SSD) within the absorbent foam core. Allevyn Ag has all the features and benefits associated with an absorbent foam dressing as well as the added benefit of an antibacterial barrier dressing. In-vitro testing studies showed that Allevyn Ag dressing has demonstrated to have barrier characteristics to bacterial strains: P. geruginosa, S. aureus, E. coli, K. pneumoniae, A. calcoaceticus, S. pyogenes, E. faccalis, MRSA, C. perfringens, B. fragilis, and P. melaninogenica.

7. Performance Standards

No applicable performance standards have been established under Section 514 of the FD&C Act. Biocompatibility tests were done in conformance with relevant requirements of ANSI/AAMI/ISO-10993.

8. Indications for Use:

The Allevyn Ag Dressings are indicated for use in light to moderately exuding partial and full thickness wounds including decubitus ulcers, diabetic ulcers, 1ª and 2ª degree burns, and donor sites. Allevyn Ag may be used over debrided and partial thickness wounds.

9. Device Description

Allevyn Ag has a trilaminate structure composed of a polyurethane top film, polyurethane central Silver Sulfadiazine (SSD) containing foam pad and polyurethane perforated wound contact film. This design allows Allevyn Ag to provide continual exudate absorption and barrier protection for up to seven days, while creating and maintaining a moist wound-healing environment in a presentation that is comfortable for the patient and easy to use, apply and remove for the user.

10. Biocompatability

The biocompatibility of Allevyn Ag has been demonstrated through appropriate in vivo and in vitro tests on the foam as well as a literature review for the use of SSD. The product has been assessed in accordance with ANSI/AAMI/ISO 10993 and does not introduce any additional safety risk over the predicate devices Acticoat Moisture Control (K050030) or Allevyn Foam (K963096).

11. Summary of Substantial Equivalence *

Allevyn Ag is comparable to Allevyn Foam and Acticoat Moisture Control in design, materials and manufacturing methods and does not raise any additional risks in terms of safety or performance; which is supported by product specifications and testing. This is further reflected in the similar labelled indications and directions for use for that of Allevyn Ag and the predicate devices.
