The device description and performance studies focus on the chemical and mechanical properties of the wound cleanser solution and the electromechanical generator, with no mention of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is intended for cleansing, irrigating, moistening, and debriding various dermal lesions, which are actions aimed at managing and treating wounds, thereby providing a therapeutic benefit.
No
Explanation: The device is intended for cleansing, irrigating, moistening, and debriding wounds, and inhibiting contamination within the solution. It does not identify or characterize a disease, condition, or state of health.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system includes a "Vashe® Wound Therapy Generator," which is described as an "electromechanical device containing an electromechanical cell, power supply, storage tank, pump, valve, tubing, various mechanical hardware, etc." This indicates the presence of significant hardware components, not just software.
Based on the provided information, the Vashe® Wound Therapy System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for cleansing, irrigating, moistening, and debriding dermal lesions. This is a direct application to the body for therapeutic and cleaning purposes.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the physical action of the solution and the preservative properties of the free available chlorine within the solution itself. It does not describe any component that is used to examine specimens from the body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information about a patient's health status.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting markers, or providing diagnostic information. The device's function is to clean and prepare the wound bed.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to diagnose diseases, monitor treatments, or assess health status. The Vashe® Wound Therapy System's function is entirely external and therapeutic/cleaning in nature.

Device Description
The subject device includes a wound cleanser solution that is intended for cleansing, and debriding dermal wounds in addition to moistening and lubricating absorbent wound dressings. The mechanical action of fluid moving across the wound provides for the mechanism of action and aids in the removal of foreign objects such as dirt and debris. In addition, the subject device contains Free Available Chlorine (FAC) that inhibits contamination within the solution.
Vashe® Wound Therapy System consists of a Vashe® Wound Therapy Generator and Vashe® Wound Therapy+ Solution. The Vashe® Wound Therapy+ Solution is produced from a Vashe® Wound Therapy Generator. The generator is an electromechanical device containing an electromechanical cell, power supply, storage tank, pump, valve, tubing, various mechanical hardware, etc. The Vashe® Wound Therapy Solution is a clear solution with a controlled pH and containing free available chlorine at a designated concentration (ppm). Cleaning and debriding is caused by the physical action of the of the Vashe® Wound Therapy Solution moving across the wound while the hypochlorous acid acts as a preservative to ensure no growth of micro-organisms in the solution. In addition. The Vashe® Wound Therapy Solution also moistens and lubricates absorbent wound dressings.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The Vashe® Wound Therapy Generator has been tested for safety and effectiveness in its intended environment. Testing was conducted by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. on the device per UL 61010 and by UL International Demko A/S per EN 61010-1:2001. None of the testing demonstrated any design characteristics that violated the requirements or resulted in any safety hazards. It was concluded that the Vashe® Wound Therapy Generator tested met all relevant requirements of the aforementioned test.
Pre-clinical toxicology evaluations were conducted on the Vashe® Wound Therapy demonstrated the solution is biocompatible and safe for clinical use. Testing was performed to determine the potential toxicological effects of exposure to Vashe® Wound Therapy Solution. The solution showed no irritation or skin sensitization and was not mutagenic in the bacterial mutation genotoxicity assay. In addition, the acute oral toxicity studies showed no toxic effects. In all cases, the Vashe® Wound Therapy Solution test articles met the requirements of the ISO 10993-5 since the grade was less than a grade 2 (mild reactivity).
Testing was conducted to confirm that the free available chlorine (FAC) contained in the Vashe® Wound Therapy Solution inhibits contamination within the solution. The Vashe® Wound Therapy Solution, at its minimum recommended concentration and aged beyond its shelf-life, meets USP 51 requirements. No growth was observed from any of the 21 tests micro-organisms when challenged with aged Vashe solution. Results showed a >99.999% reduction against 20 organisms and 99.995% reduction was observed against the Staphyloccoccus aureus strain (ATCC 6538). Endospore Time Kill Assay results showed that the aged Vashe® Wound Therapy Solution after 15 seconds contact time produced >99.999% reduction against Clostridium difficile endospores.
