Intended Use
SilverMed™ Antimicrobial Hydrogel is indicated for the management of minor burns, superficial cuts, lacerations, abrasions and minor irritation of the skin. Under the supervision of a healthcare professional, it is indicated for partial and full thickness wounds including pressure ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, diabetic ulcers, first and second degree burns, abrasions, lacerations, skin tears, grafted wounds, donor sites and surgical wounds.
Device Description
The Argentis SilverMedIM Antimicrobial Hydrogel is a moist hydrogel dressing designed to deliver antimicrobial silver that inhibits the growth of microbial contaminants. The high moisture content gel absorbs destructive components of wound exudate while promoting healthy tissue healing. Stabilizers prevent discoloration and staining from the dressing. The product is available in 1.5 oz and 3 oz containers.
More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a hydrogel dressing with antimicrobial properties and does not mention any AI or ML components. The performance studies focus on biocompatibility and antimicrobial effectiveness, not algorithmic performance.

Yes
The device is indicated for the management of various wounds and skin irritations, promoting healing and delivering antimicrobial silver to inhibit microbial growth, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No
The device is a moist hydrogel dressing intended for wound management and treatment, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "moist hydrogel dressing" and mentions physical properties like "high moisture content gel" and "Stabilizers". It also describes physical containers (1.5 oz and 3 oz). This indicates a physical product, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The SilverMed™ Antimicrobial Hydrogel is a topical dressing applied directly to wounds and skin. Its function is to manage wounds by providing moisture, delivering antimicrobial silver, and absorbing exudate. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the management of various types of wounds and skin irritations, which are external applications.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties of the hydrogel and its application to the wound surface.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies mentioned are related to biocompatibility and antimicrobial effectiveness on the wound, not diagnostic testing of bodily fluids or tissues.

Therefore, the SilverMed™ Antimicrobial Hydrogel falls under the category of a wound dressing or topical antimicrobial device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies

SilverMed™ Antimicrobial Hydrogel has been subjected to in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility testing (ISO Modified Intracutaneous study, the ISO Intracutaneous Reactivity test and the ISO Delayed Hypersensitivity study) and cytotoxicity testing (ISO Agar Diffusion Diffusion (Direct)). These tests support the safe use of SilverMed™ Antimicrobial Hydrogel in contact with breached or compromised skin. In vitro Antimicrobial testing was assessed by the standard USP Antimicrobial Effectivencss Test .
The performance data testing exceeds the requirements as set forth by the USP. The biocompatibility testing and performance testing performed for the device also demonstrated that the device is safe and effective for the indications of use.

Dear Dr. Miller:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
