The description focuses on the material properties and biological interactions of the wound dressings, with no mention of computational analysis, algorithms, or learning processes.
Yes
The device is described as "chronic wound treatment devices" used for the management of various partial and full thickness wounds, indicating its therapeutic intent to heal or manage medical conditions.
No
This device is a wound dressing designed for treatment and management of wounds, not for diagnosis. Its purpose is to facilitate healing.
No
The device description clearly states that the Keratec Wound Dressings are physical wound care dressings made of materials like keratin proteins, polyurethane foam, and gel. These are hardware components, not software.
Based on the provided text, 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 Keratec Wound Dressings are topical wound care products. Their function is to manage wounds by absorbing exudate, creating a moist healing environment, and providing a structural framework for tissue growth. They are applied directly to the wound and interact with wound fluids externally.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the management of various types of wounds. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description details the physical properties and mechanisms of action of the dressings, all related to wound healing and management. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples for diagnostic purposes.
Therefore, the Keratec Wound Dressings fall under the category of wound care devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

Device Description
The Keratec Keragel, Kerafoam and Keraderm Wound Dressings (Keratec Wound Dressings) are designed as chronic wound treatment devices for dry to heavily exuding wounds. The Keratec Wound Dressings are sterile, single-use wound care dressings that include keratin proteins derived from sheep wool for use in moist wound management.
The primary mode of action of keratin containing dressings Keragel, Keraderm and Kerafoam is to absorb and interact with wound fluids to form a soft, hydrophilic keratin gel that facilitates a moist wound healing environment. The secondary mode of action is to provide the cells in the wound with a friendly structural framework that allows cellular migration where no framework exists.
Keragel is a gel dressing that provides moisture to dry wound beds by using water. emollients, and biocompatible thickeners in a similar manner to other hydrogels.
Kerafoam is a keratin film coated on a polyurethane foam substrate for use in multilayered advanced wound dressings. The keratin film is in matrix form with soluble keratin proteins. The Kerafoam product forms a gel when in contact with wound exudates. The Kerafoam provides the exudate management features of other advanced moist wound dressings.
Keraderm is open-celled foam derived from freeze-dried keratin protein. Keraderm is re-absorbed into the developing tissue without traumatic dressing changes. Keraderm provides a bio-absorbable "scaffold" for the rapid growth of new tissue in three dimensions. Keraderm is provided in an acellular form of keratin protein.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE 6.
Both the proposed Keratec Wound Dressings and the predicate wound dressings are designed for dry, light and moderately exudating partial and full thickness wounds. These devices differ in formulation but all include a protein component that is intended to provide enhanced wound healing.
The operational principles of the proposed and predicate devices are identical. The wound dressing is applied to the wound and functions to absorb exudates and create a scaffold for tissue ingrowth. The major difference between the proposed Keratec Wound Dressings and the predicate dressings is the type of protein incorporated in the dressing. Performance testing has been conducted that confirms that the Keratec Wound Dressings are able to function as intended without causing damage to the tissues. Animal derived proteins such as collagen have been used for many years in wound dressing products without adverse effects. Additionally, safety testing has been performed to support the use of keratin in the Keratec Wound Dressing, demonstrating that the dressings do not cause adverse effects and function as intended.
The similarities in intended use, technical specifications, and functional performance between the Keratec Wound Dressings and the Biocore Medical Technologies Inc. MediFil Collatek Hydrogel (K022995), the Johnson & Johnson Collagen ORC Antimicrobial Matrix (K033523), the Medical Technologies Collatek Foam (K012997) and the Cook Biotech (Healthpoint) (K061711) Oasis Wound Matrix leads to a conclusion of substantial equivalence between the proposed and predicate devices.
PERFORMANCE TESTING 7.
Extensive bench, biocompatibility, animal and clinical testing have been performed to support the safety and efficacy of the Keratec Wound Dressings. All of the testing showed that the dressings function as intended without adverse effects.
