Intended Use
Suprasorb® A +Ag Calcium Alginate Dressing with Antibacterial Silver can be used for the management of wounds which are: Moderately and heavily exuding, Superficial or Deep, Such as: Pressure sores, Arterial Ulcers, Venous lower leg ulcers, Diabetic ulcers, Post-operative wounds.
Device Description
Suprasorb® A + Ag Calcium Alginate Dressings with Antibacterial Silver are soft, conformable wound covers with a high mannuronic acid content. The silver-impregnated calcium alginate fibres, when in contact with wound exudate or blood, form a gel which creates a moist wound healing environment. The silver in the wound dressing has an antibacterial effect upon various types of bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia Coli. The silver ions protect the dressing from a broad spectrum of bacterial contamination over a period of up to 3 days in the in vitro challenge test. Suprasorb® A + Ag Calcium Alginate Dressings with Antibacterial Silver are sterilized by irradiation and must not be re-sterilized. The products are sterile unless the package is opened or damaged. Suprasorb® A + Ag Calcium Alginate Dressings with Antibacterial Silver are for single use only.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the material properties and antibacterial effects of the dressing, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
Explanation: The device is intended for the management of various types of wounds, indicating a therapeutic purpose to facilitate healing and provide antibacterial activity.

No
The device is a wound dressing designed for treatment and management of wounds, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical wound dressing made of calcium alginate fibers with silver, which is a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device as a wound dressing for managing various types of wounds. This is a topical application for direct interaction with the wound bed.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical properties of the dressing, how it interacts with wound exudate, and its antibacterial effect on bacteria in the wound.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information about a patient's health status, disease, or condition. IVDs are used for diagnostic purposes outside the body.

The device is a medical device, specifically a wound dressing, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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

The biocompatibility of Speciality Fibres and Materials Limited's Suprasorb® A + Ag has been demonstrated in accordance with ISO 10993-1 and the FDA Blue Book memorandum #G95-1. Results were equivalent to those for the predicate devices In vitro testing for silver content, silver release and absorbency, gave similar results to the predicates. Comparable biocompatibility, cytotoxicity, absorbency and silver release results have been demonstrated.
