Device Description
SureSkin Silver bandages are sterile, single-use dressings that consist of silver -containing hydrocolloid adhesive bonded to an outer polyurethane film cover for an antimicrobial effect. The hydrocolloid adhesive is designed to interact with moisture from the skin and wound surface where it forms a gel and creates a moist wound environment that is known to speed the healing process faster than commonly used bandages Once the bandage begins to interact with moisture the silver in the adhesive is activated and helps to kill bacteria which are in direct contact with the dressing.
More Information

Not Found

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

No
The device aids in healing and provides an antimicrobial effect for minor wounds, but it does not claim to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, which is typically characteristic of a therapeutic device in a regulatory context. Its indication for "first aid" of common minor injuries suggests it's more of a wound dressing than a therapeutic device.

No
The device description and intended use clearly state that it is a wound dressing for treatment and healing, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical bandage with hydrocolloid adhesive and silver, indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for treating minor cuts, scrapes, etc., on the skin and wound surface. This is a direct application to the body for therapeutic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details a wound dressing that interacts with the wound environment and has an antimicrobial effect on bacteria in direct contact with the dressing. This is a topical treatment.
  • Lack of In Vitro Diagnostic Characteristics: An IVD is a medical device intended to be used in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, tissue, and urine, from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not involve the examination of specimens outside the body.

The device is a wound dressing with antimicrobial properties, which falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The SureSkin Silver bandages provide an antimicrobial barrier to microbial colonization in the dressing and help eliminate microbial penetration through the dressing.

SureSkin Silver bandages are indicated for first aid to help minor cuts, scrapes, abrasions, lacerations, blisters, and scalds.

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

Antimicrobial effectiveness and Microbial Barrier testing was performed on the predicate device and showed that it provides an effective microbial barrier in the dressing. Biocompatibility testing was performed. Test results demonstrated that the device is suitable for its intended use. SureSkin Silver Bandages are identical in formulation, packaging materials and produced under same manufacturing processes to the predicate device. Thus safety and effectiveness is not affected in any manner. The dressing under this submission is identical to the predicate device except over-the-counter use.

Date 510(k) Prepared

April 30, 2008

Name of the medical device

Trade Name: SureSkin Silver Bandage Common Name: Wound Dressing Classification Name: Occlusive wound dressing (21CFR878.4020)

Occlusive wound dressings with added drugs have not yet been classified by the FDA or given a Product Code. Occlusive wound dressings without drugs have been designated as Class I (general controls) with Product Code "NAD" and exempt from the pre-market notification 510(k) submission requirements. Other wound dressings with antimicrobial properties have not been classified but given the product code, 'FRO''.

Legally marketed device to which substantial equivalence is claimed

SureSkin Silver is substantially equivalent in function, construction, and chemical composition to Euromed SureSkin III with Silver Wound Dressings (Rx) cleared by FDA (K050032). The primary purpose of this 510(k) is to seek clearance for Over-The-Counter (OTC) marketing of this dressing with revised indications.

Device Description

SureSkin Silver bandages are sterile, single-use dressings that consist of silver -containing hydrocolloid adhesive bonded to an outer polyurethane film cover for an antimicrobial effect.

The hydrocolloid adhesive is designed to interact with moisture from the skin and wound surface where it forms a gel and creates a moist wound environment that is known to speed the healing process faster than commonly used bandages

Once the bandage begins to interact with moisture the silver in the adhesive is activated and helps to kill bacteria which are in direct contact with the dressing.

In vitro laboratory testing has demonstrated the dressings antimicrobial effectiveness on fresh clinical isolates of Staph aureus (MRSA), E. coli, and P. aeruginosa.

Intended Use

The SureSkin Silver bandages provide an antimicrobial barrier to microbial colonization in the dressing and help eliminate microbial penetration through the dressing.

SureSkin Silver bandages are indicated for first aid to help minor cuts, scrapes, abrasions, lacerations, blisters, and scalds.
