No
The device description and performance studies focus on the chemical and mechanical properties of a wound cleansing solution, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is a wound cleansing solution for minor skin abrasions, lacerations, irritations, and cuts, primarily for cleansing, irrigating, debriding, and moistening, rather than directly treating a medical condition or restoring function.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a wound cleansing solution for management of minor skin abrasions, minor lacerations, minor irritations, minor cuts, and intact skin. It does not mention diagnosis, only care.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "wound cleansing solution," which is a liquid substance, not software. The mechanism of action is described as "mechanical action of fluid moving across the wound," further indicating a physical product.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the management of minor skin wounds and intact skin. This involves direct application to the body surface for cleansing and debridement.
  • Device Description: The device is a wound cleansing solution that works through mechanical action on the wound surface.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVDs are devices intended for use in vitro (outside the body) for the examination of specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This device does not involve the analysis of bodily specimens for diagnosis.

The device described is a topical wound care product, which falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs.

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
