Intended Use
The Derma Sciences Medihoney Primary Dressing with Active Manuka Honey provides a moist environment conducive to wound healing and is indicated for light to moderately exuding wounds such as: - . diabetic foot ulcers - leg ulcers (venous stasis ulcers, arterial ulcers and leg ulcers of mixed . etiology) - pressure ulcers / sores (partial and full thickness) . - . 1st and 2nd degree partial thickness burns - donor sites, and traumatic and surgical wounds. .
Device Description
Derma Sciences Medihoney Primary Dressings with Active Manuka Honey are sterile, single-use wound care dressings for use in moist wound management. The Derma Sciences Medihoney Primary Dressings with Active Manuka Honey are offered in several sizes including 2" x 2", ¾ x 12", 4" x 4" and 4" x 5". The dressings are comprised of honey and sodium alginate. The proposed Medihoney Primary Dressing with Active Manuka Honey contains Active Manuka Honey. As wound exudate is absorbed, the alginate forms a gel, which assists in maintaining a moist environment that aids supports the autolytic debridement for optimal wound healing, and allows intact removal.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a wound dressing made of honey and alginate, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

Yes
The device is indicated for various wound types, including diabetic foot ulcers and burns, and helps in wound healing by providing a moist environment. These are therapeutic applications.

No
The device is a wound dressing designed to provide a moist environment for healing, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a physical wound dressing comprised of honey and sodium alginate, 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 wound dressing for managing various types of wounds. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details the composition and function of a wound dressing (honey and alginate for moist wound management and debridement). This aligns with a medical device used for treatment, not for analyzing samples from the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing information for diagnosis.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. This device is applied in vivo (on the body) for wound care.

6. TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The Derma Sciences Honey Primary Wound Dressing into the market is essentially identical to the parent API-MED Active Manuka Honey Wound Dressings subject of K0453095. The differences between the Derma Sciences Medihoney Primary Dressings with Active Manuka Honey and the predicate device are limited to a slight formulation change, the addition of an optional adhesive backing and a slight indication change.

The technological characteristics of the Derma Sciences Medihoney Primary Dressings with Active Manuka Honey and the parent API-MED Active Manuka Honey Wound Dressings are substantially equivalent in that they are all dressings suitable for use on pressure sores, leg ulcers, post-operative wounds, superficial wounds and abrasions.

The modifications made to the API-MED Active Manuka Honey Dressings to produce the Derma Sciences Medihoney Primary Dressings with Active Manuka Honey are limited to a slight change in formulation. The proposed Honey Primary Wound Dresings are comprised of 80% w/w of Active Manuka Honey and 20% hydrocolloidal gelling agents and the parent API-MED Active Manuka Honey Dressings are comprised of 95% Active Manuka Honey and 5% calcium alginate. This slight change in formulation simply provides the user with a wider variety of honey dressings and does not represent a significant change in technological characteristics of the Medihoney Primary Dressings with Active Manuka Honey. The only differences between the Derma Sciences Medihoney Primary Dressings with

Active Manuka Honey and the predicate devices include slightly different dressing composition which are minor and do not affect the safety and effectiveness of the device.

7. PERFORMANCE TESTING

Biocompatibility testing performed to support the formulation change for the modified dressings demonstrates that the Medihoney Primary Dressings with Active Manuka Honey are safe for their intended use. Cytotoxicity, sensitization, and irritation testing was performed successfully using the Derma Sciences Wound Dressings.
