The document describes a standard negative pressure wound therapy device with a control system for monitoring and maintaining pressure. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any advanced algorithms for data analysis, decision-making, or pattern recognition. The control system appears to be based on simple feedback loops for pressure regulation.
Yes
The device is indicated for promoting wound healing by applying negative pressure and draining fluids/infected materials from wounds, which directly contributes to a patient's health and treatment.
No
The device is described as a "Wound Drainage Device" and a "compact portable suction device" used to promote wound healing by draining fluids and infected materials. Its function is to apply negative pressure, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical device with a vacuum pump, housing, control system, fluid canister, and bacterial filter. It is a hardware device with integrated software for control and monitoring.
Based on the provided information, the Exsudex™ Wound Drainage Device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to apply negative pressure to a wound to promote healing by draining fluids and infected materials. This is a therapeutic and surgical/post-surgical application, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The device is a suction pump designed to remove fluids from a wound. It does not analyze biological samples or provide diagnostic information.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to test or analyze samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) outside of the body for diagnostic purposes.
In summary, the Exsudex™ is a medical device used for wound management and fluid removal, which falls under a different regulatory classification than IVD devices.

Device Description
The Exsudex™ unit is a compact portable suction device that can be powered by either an internal battery pack or wall current and is compatible with U.S. electrical standards. The pump will be used in combination with accessory kits to create localized topical negative pressure and promote wound healing by drainage of fluids and infected materials from the wound and wound bed into a disposable canister.
The Exsudex™ consists of a medium sized housing that contains a vacuum pump and control system with a location for a fluid canister system. There is also a bacterial filter which is plugged directly into a housing in the pump and replaced as necessary. Accessories include a bed clamp, infusion pole clamp and carry bag. For the expanded indication of use for wound healing the unit is used in conjunction with accessory kits conforming to the guidelines for dressings developed by Chariker et al already available in the U.S. market. This kit consists of individually reviewed medical components that have added instructions for use. The kits are considered "Convenience Kits", falling under the General Surgical classification (see 21 CFR 878.4800.)
To use the pump, the suction tube must be connected to the canister and to the drain.
After checking the set up and confirming connection between the drain, the Exsudex™ is activated by pressing the start/stop button.
To ensure the maintenance of the desired level pressure, Exsudex™ monitors and controls:
- . The buildup of pressure
- . pressure loss
- . pressure tolerance
The Exsudex™ is intended for acute, institutional, and long-term care use and only when prescribed by a physician. Product may be indicated for patient home-care, when carefully monitored by licensed home health-care providers, and only when prescribed by a physician.
The machine may be used with a disposable canister which is intended for medical use and is registered appropriately. The canister is disposable and can be supplied in a range of sizes up to a maximum fluid capacity of 1300cc and contains an overflow shut off valve. It is secured to the Exsudex™ unit by means of a slide-fit housing on the back of the pump.
The canister intended for primary use with the device is a 1200cc disposable canister, with a secure press-on lid, designed to tightly affix during transport and disposal, eliminating the risk of cross-contamination. The canister lid has a built-in pour spout. The canister is equipped with a filter with positive shut-off value that effectively traps aerosolized microorganisms and particulate matter and that prevents fluid overlow. The canister is easy to read with etched and printed graduations which ensure total volume accuracy and easy-to-read measurements. The canister has a smudge-free surface which provides adequate space for marking patient information. The canister is non-sterile and is designed to be discarded when full, partially full, or on completion of patient care.
For the indication of use for wound healing, the device is used in conjunction with accessory kits conforming to the guidelines developed by Katherine Jeter and Dr. Mark Chariker. Similar kits are already available in the U.S. market. The kits consist of individually reviewed medical components from existing manufacturers that have met the regulatory requirements of the FDA (see 21 CFR 878.4800) and include separate, additional instructions for use.
The Kits include:
-
- Silicone or Wound drain
-
- Connecting tubing
-
- Impregnated gauze
-
- Gauze fill material
-
- Polyurethane Cover dressing
-
- Skin prep
All products, including canister and disposable kit of individual components are not designed for cleaning or reuse and should be properly discarded after patient use. The sale or use of this device must be by or on the order of a physician.

v. Summary of the technological characteristics of the device compared to the predicate device.
Each of the devices providing NPWT consists of the same basic technology, and do not differ significantly in purpose, design, materials, energy source, function, or any other feature related to safety and effectiveness. Each device consists of a vacuum control unit with an integrated collection canister and power supply (battery or AC). The primary differences in these models relate to size and weight.
All models of the NPWT family of devices are designed to help promote wound healing, through the application of controlled negative pressure to the surface and margins of the wound. This negative pressure therapy is applied through the dressing positioned in the wound cavity or over a flap or graft. This pressure distributing dressing helps remove fluids from the wound. The devices are designed to treat wounds such as chronic, acute, traumatic, subacute and dehisced wounds; partial-thickness burns; ulcers (such as diabetic or pressure); flaps; and grafts.
vi. Testing
Verification and validation testing of the Exsudex™ device, including functional performance testing and electrical leakage testing, was conducted in accordance with established design control procedures.
vii. Conclusions
Based upon testing as well as extensive dinical use in Europe, the Exsudex™ Wound Drainage Device has the same intended uses as the predicate devices, with similar technological characteristics. The system performs as intended and raises no new safety or effectiveness issues.
