Intended Use
CARAPASTE® Oral Wound Dressing forms a protective layer over the oral mucosa by adhering to the mucosal surface which allows it to protect against further irritation and relieve pain. The paste may be used in the management of mouth lesions of all types including aphthous ulcer, stomatitis, mucositis, minor lesions, chafing and traumatic ulcers, abrasions caused by braces and ill fitting dentures, and lessions associated with oral surgery.
Device Description
CARAPASTE ® Oral Wound Dressing, Sucralfate HCl Topical Paste, is an amorphous hydrogel paste formed by the controlled reaction of sucralfate with a limited quantity of hydrochloric acid. The amorphous hydrogel paste formed by this reaction binds reversibly to wounds and is intended to form a protective film that covers lesions where gastric acid or local wound bed acidity is not available or is inconsistently present. CARAPASTE ® Oral Wound Dressing may be administered directly to an accessible oral wound to provide an adherent physical covering of the wound bed. Although prepared by reaction of sucralfate with strong acid, the polymerized sucralfate self-buffers to a pH of approximately 3.5.

No
The description focuses on the chemical composition and physical properties of the paste, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is intended to relieve pain, protect against further irritation, and manage various types of oral lesions, which are therapeutic claims.

No
The device is described as forming a protective layer over oral mucosa to relieve pain and protect against irritation; it manages existing conditions rather than identifying or diagnosing them.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Sucralfate HCl Topical Paste," which is a physical substance, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes a topical paste applied to the oral mucosa to form a protective layer and relieve pain for various mouth lesions. This is a therapeutic or protective function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details the composition and mechanism of action of the paste, which is to physically cover and protect the wound. This is consistent with a topical wound dressing, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples (like blood, saliva, or tissue), detecting biomarkers, or providing information for diagnosis.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.

6. Summary of Technological Characteristics of the Device Compared to the Predicate Devices

CARAPASTE® Oral Wound Dressing forms a protective layer over the oral mucosa, adheres to the mucosal surface and relieves pain and promotes wound healing of mouth lesions.

7. Conclusions

The physical wound covering properties of CARAPASTE® Oral Wound Dressing would be expected to be at least as effective as those of the predicate devices. No new biocompatibility or other safety issues are raised.
