More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a wound dressing with antimicrobial properties and does not mention any computational or analytical functions that would typically involve AI/ML.

Yes
The device is a wound dressing indicated for the management of various partial and full thickness wounds, which is a therapeutic purpose. It also aids in killing bacteria in the wound, further supporting its therapeutic function.

No

The device description indicates it is a wound dressing designed for management of wounds and killing bacteria, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical wound dressing made of materials like HDPE and polyester, coated with silver. It is a tangible medical device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for the management of various types of wounds. This is a direct treatment or management of a physical condition on the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a wound dressing with physical components (HDPE, polyester, silver coating) designed to be applied externally to a wound.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a medical device used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. The provided information does not mention any testing of samples or diagnostic purposes.

The device is a therapeutic wound dressing, not a diagnostic tool.

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

The following performance tests were conducted on the exSALT™ SD7 Wound Dressing:

  • Absorptive Capacity
  • Moisture Content
  • Drop Penetration
  • Adhesion
  • Abrasion
  • Silver Content
  • Anti-microbial (Bacterial) Effectiveness
  • Bactericidal Effectiveness
  • Biocompatibility
  • Biological Reactivity

Absorptive capacity, moisture content, adhesion characteristics were found to be substantially equivalent to the predicate.

While the amount of silver ion release from the exSALT™ SD7 Wound Dressing is less than that of Acticoat® 7 dressing over similar time periods, this does not affect the antimicrobial properties of the device. Antimicrobial effectiveness and bactericidal efficacy against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus were found to be the same when comparing the exSALT™ SD7 Wound Dressing and the predicate, tested under similar conditions.

The exSALT™ SD7 Wound Dressing showed no new safety concerns relative to biocompatibility. It was shown to be non-toxic, non-irritant, and does not elicit a sensitization response.

7. Intended Use

The exSALT™ SD7 Wound Dressing is indicated for the management of partial and full thickness wounds, including decubitus ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, first and second degree burns, grafts and donor sites, or other acute or chronic wounds. The dressing may be used over debrided and grafted wounds.

8. Summary of Substantial Equivalence

The labeled indications and directions for use of the exSALT™ SD7 Wound Dressing are equivalent to those of the predicate device, Acticoat® 7 Dressing. The design, materials, and manufacturing methods are similar to those of the predicate device and do not raise any new issues concerning safety or effectiveness.

a) Summary of Technological Characteristics

The exSALT™ SD7 Wound Dressing consists of 2 outer layers of HDPE with an inner layer of absorbent polyester which are all silver-coated, while the predicate, Acticoat® 7 Dressing, consists of 3 layers of silver-coated HDPE alternating with two inner layers of absorbent polyester/rayon. Importantly, the skin-contacting materials in both the exSALT™ SD7 Wound Dressing and the predicate are the same. The absence of an extra layer of silver-coated HDPE in the exSALT™ SD7 dressing as compared to the predicate, does not affect the performance of the device as demonstrated by the results of physical, efficacy, and biocompatibility testing.

Silver is deposited on the exSALT™ SD7 Wound Dressing using an aqueous chemistry (emersion) approach, while physical vapor deposition (PVD) is used with the predicate. Both the PVD process and the emersion process produce oxidized silver species adherent to the substrate. This difference in application of the silver to the dressing does not affect the efficacy or safety of the device as demonstrated by the results of the bactericidal and antimicrobial efficacy testing, and biocompatibility testing. Both the exSALT™ SD7 Wound Dressing and the predicate are sterilized by gamma irradiation.

b) Summary of Performance Data

The following performance tests were conducted on the exSALT™ SD7 Wound Dressing:

  • . Absorptive Capacity
  • . Moisture Content
  • Drop Penetration �
  • Adhesion .
