More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on the material composition and physical properties of the wound dressing, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

Yes
The device is indicated for the management of various types of wounds, and its mechanism of action involves creating a moist environment favorable to the wound healing process. This directly relates to the treatment or management of a medical condition, making it a therapeutic device.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "sterile topical wound dressing" used for the management of wounds by providing a moist environment, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is composed of physical materials (Alginate fiber, polyurethane membrane, acrylic adhesive) and is a sterile topical wound dressing, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The Coreleader AlgiPlaster is a topical wound dressing. Its function is to cover and manage wounds on the surface of the body, providing a protective barrier and a moist environment for healing. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes its application to wounds on the skin.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical composition and properties of the dressing itself, not on any analytical or diagnostic capabilities.

Therefore, the Coreleader AlgiPlaster falls under the category of a medical device, specifically a wound dressing, rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Device Description

Coreleader AlgiPlaster is a soft, sterile, non-woven dressing consisting of an calcium alginate/sodium carboxymethylcellulose Xerogel cast into a high density polyethylene net. It provides a barrier to external contamination and produces a moist environment at the surface of the wound by reducing water vapor loss from the exposed tissue. The moist environment provided by the alginate fibers may provide an environment favorable to the wound healing process.

Technological Characteristics

Coreleader AlgiPlaster is composed of calcium alginate fiber and PU membrane. The calcium alginate fiber is manufactured by a Wet-Spinning production process. Alginate fiber combined with the thin polyurethane membrane coated with a layer of an acrylic adhesive. The dressing combination, which is permeable to both water vapour and oxygen, is impermeable to micro-organisms and once in position, it provides an effective barrier to external contamination, and producing a moist environment at the surface of the wound by reducing water vapour loss from the exposed tissue. The dressing is presented as a dense, flat non-woven pad for

application to surface wounds. In the presence of exudate or other body fluids containing sodium ions, the fibers absorb liquid and swell. Calcium ions present in the fibers are partially replaced by sodium ions, causing the dressing to take on a gel-like consistency which may provide an environment favorable to the wound healing process.
