Promotes wound healing through lavage of wound tissue (acute and chronic wounds, burns, diseased or necrotic tissue) and maintenance debridement for the removal of debris, exudates, fragments, bacteria and other matter.
Device Description
The AS1000 Ultrasonic Wound Therapy System promotes wound healing through the ultrasonic lavage of wound tissue (acute and chronic wounds, burns, diseased or necrotic tissue) and cleansing irrigation & maintenance debridement of the removal of debris, exudates, fragments, bacteria, and other matter through the use of low-frequency, low-intensity, nonthermal non-contact ultrasonic energy and oxygenated fluid irrigation. This is accomplished by the non-contact, non-thermal application of a fine oxygenated fluid stream spray to the wound bed whereby ultrasound energy is transmitted via the stream from the applicator tip to the wound tissue. Non-contact ultrasound provides cellular stimulation, increased blood flow, and reduced bioburden with much less pain or thermal-effect than competing direct contact ultrasound devices. The AS1000 uses continuous ultrasonic energy to oxygenate the fluid (typically sterile saline) into a solution stream and couple the delivery of ultrasonic energy via the stream to the treatment site.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the physical mechanism of ultrasonic energy and fluid irrigation for wound treatment. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would suggest the use of such technologies.

Yes
The device is intended to promote wound healing, which is a therapeutic outcome.

No

The device description indicates that the AS1000 promotes wound healing through ultrasonic lavage and debridement, which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones. It focuses on treating wounds by removing debris and stimulating healing, rather than identifying or characterizing a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical system ("AS1000 Ultrasonic Wound Therapy System") that applies ultrasonic energy and fluid irrigation via an "applicator tip" and "fluid stream spray" to wound tissue. This involves hardware components beyond just software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly state that this device is used for treating wound tissue directly on the patient's body through lavage and debridement. It does not involve analyzing samples taken from the body.
  • The mechanism of action is physical. The device uses ultrasonic energy and fluid irrigation to clean and stimulate wound tissue. This is a physical intervention applied to the body, not a test performed on a sample.
  • There is no mention of analyzing biological samples. The description focuses on the application of energy and fluid to the wound bed.

Therefore, the AS1000 Ultrasonic Wound Therapy System is a therapeutic device used for wound treatment, not an IVD.

The AS1000 uses continuous ultrasonic energy to oxygenate the fluid (typically sterile saline) into a solution stream and couple the delivery of ultrasonic energy via the stream to the treatment site. The AS1000 system consists of an ultrasonic power supply (hereto after referred to as a generator), an ultrasonic converter hand piece (or just converter), an applicator & tip, a saline supply reservoir & conduit tubing, a oxygen supply reservoir & conduit tubing, and, optionally, a waste chamber for material removed by aspiration.

§ 878.4410 Low energy ultrasound wound cleaner.

(a)
Identification. A low energy ultrasound wound cleaner is a device that uses ultrasound energy to vaporize a solution and generate a mist that is used for the cleaning and maintenance debridement of wounds. Low levels of ultrasound energy may be carried to the wound by the saline mist.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control is FDA's guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Low Energy Ultrasound Wound Cleaner.” See § 878.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.

This is accomplished by the non-contact, non-thermal application of a fine oxygenated fluid stream spray to the wound bed whereby ultrasound energy is transmitted via the stream from the applicator tip to the wound tissue. Non-contact ultrasound provides cellular stimulation, increased blood flow, and reduced bioburden with much less pain or thermal-effect than competing direct contact ultrasound devices. The AS1000 uses continuous ultrasonic energy to oxygenate the fluid (typically sterile saline) into a solution stream and couple the delivery of ultrasonic energy via the stream to the treatment site.

The level of airborne ultrasound energy generated by the device, its spatial characteristics, and the potential exposure to unwanted acoustic energy is substantially equivalent between the AS1000 device and the predicate Celleration MIST device since both have the same size diameter (10mm) oscillating surface generating the ultrasonic energy transmitted thru their respective streams. In addition, since both the AS1000 device and the predicate Celleration i MIST device are intended to treat tissue at the same distance and same pattern, the level of ultrasound energy transmitted to the patient and the effects of the applicator from the wound is substantially equivalent. As the AS1000 device and the predicates (Celleration MIST device and Arobella AR1000 device) are all derived from classic Langevin transducer designs, the variability in the field from device is expected to be substantially equivalent, and all AS1000 devices are tested and verified to perform within the reported parameters to maintain safety and efficacy

The converter has a transducer horn that is made from titanium alloy (TI-6AL-4V). The applicator and tip are made from titanium alloy (TI-6AL-4V), like the probes for Celleration MIST and Arobella AR1000 predicated devices, and the other indirect patient-contact materials are stainless steel (both AIS) Type 300 & 17-4PH series), anodized aluminum alloy (6061), nylon, polyurethane, and silicone tubing. No latex is used in this device, including any potential patientcontact areas, and testing has revealed no negative reactions to the materials used in this device.
