Intended Use
To cover intact skin or minor cuts, scrapes, burns, and irritations of the skin, to help keep them clean and dry and help protect them from infection
Device Description
This product is a liguid polymer in a spray format. The solution is topically applied to the affected area and the carrier solvent evaporates allowing polymerization of the remaining constituents to form a non-toxic, hydrophobic, elastomeric polymer coating that provides a barner against moisture but that is permeable to oxygen. The intended use is as a liquid bandage, as this coating is biocompatible and forms a tough yet pliable seal, preventing it from cracking and peeling as the skin heals.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the chemical and physical properties of the liquid polymer and its function as a barrier. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

No
The device is a liquid bandage designed to cover and protect skin and minor cuts, which is not considered a therapeutic function. Its purpose is to provide a physical barrier rather than to treat a disease or condition.

No

The device is described as a liquid bandage that forms a protective coating on the skin to prevent infection and cracking/peeling as skin heals. Its intended use and function are solely for protection and healing support, not for diagnosing any condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "liquid polymer in a spray format" and describes its physical properties and application as a topical coating, indicating it is a physical product, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to cover intact skin or minor cuts, scrapes, burns, and irritations of the skin. This is a topical application for wound protection and healing, not for diagnosing a condition.
  • Device Description: The device is a liquid polymer that forms a protective coating on the skin. This is a physical barrier, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.

The device is clearly described as a "liquid bandage," which falls under the category of wound dressings or topical protectants, not in vitro diagnostics.

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

The ability of the dried product film to act as a microbial barrier was validated by testing in a modification of ASTM F1608 (Standard Test Method for Microbial Ranking of Porous Packaging Materials) with five species of bacteria. The film formed an effective barrier to all organisms tested.

Biocompatibility of the product was evaluated per ISO-10993 for cytotoxicity, sensitization, and irritation, acute systemic toxicity, genotoxicity, mutagenicity, and implantation, Twelve different types of tests were run and the product was shown to be biocompatible.

Bench testing of the bulk formulation and packaged product included molecular weight, purity, and residual components, water content, setting/drying time, viscosity, percent solids, color and particulates, heat of polymerization, as well as moisture vapor transmission rate and tensile strength of the dried film, and distribution/ship tests of the packaged product. All product lots met specifications.

Comparison statement

The Chesson Labs product is similar to the predicate devices in that they are polymers in organic solvents. They provide the same functions as a liquid bandage, are for over-thecounter (OTC) consumer use, have similar claims, and they have the same indications for use. All of these products are liquid solutions applied directly to the wound, which upon contact with the skin dry to form a clear barrier film. They have many of the same functional characteristics, such as water-tightness, water vapor permeability, oxygen permeability, flexibility, and barrier film duration.

Results of biocompatibility and design verification testing provided in the submission have demonstrated that the Chesson Labs Liquid Bandage has the same performance, safety and technical characteristics and therefore raises no new no new issues of safety or effectiveness.
