Intended Use
The ChloraShield™ Antimicrobial Dressing is intended for use as a wound dressing to absorb exudate and to cover and protect catheter sites. Common applications include IV catheters, other intravascular catheters and percutaneous devices.
Device Description
The ChloraShield™ Antimicrobial Dressing is intended to fill the need for a transparent primary catheter dressing that can be applied easily while surrounding the wound site. The dressing is an oval shaped dressing intended to cover and protect a catheter site and absorb exudates. The dressing is transparent and conformable allowing for easy visual and manual inspection of IV sites. The dressing is impregnated with Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG), a persistent, broad spectrum antimicrobial and antifungal activity against a wide range of gram positive and gram negative organisms. The antimicrobial agent protects the dressing from bacterial penetration and colonization. The patch complements other infection control measures by providing continued IV site protection while also allowing for good site visualization and inspection. ChloraShield has not been clinically tested for its ability to reduce local infections, catheter-related blood stream infections (CRBSI) or skin colonization of microorganisms commonly related to CRBSI. The product is sold in a sterile condition, opened in the operating field and then applied to the catheter site. Like the predicate devices, the ChloraShield ™ Dressing is easy to apply and easy to remove. The product offering includes: The product number is: # 410100 standard package - one dressing or patch per sterile package.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties, antimicrobial agent, and clinical tolerability of a wound dressing. There is no mention of AI or ML in the text.

No.
The device is a wound dressing that absorbs exudate and covers and protects catheter sites; it does not claim to treat any medical condition.

No.

The device is a dressing intended to protect catheter sites and absorb exudate, not to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical wound dressing impregnated with an antimicrobial agent, not a software application.

Based on the provided text, the ChloraShield™ Antimicrobial Dressing is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is as a wound dressing to absorb exudate and cover/protect catheter sites. This is a topical application for wound management and protection, not for testing samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties of the dressing (transparent, conformable, oval shaped) and the presence of an antimicrobial agent to protect the dressing itself and the site. It does not describe any components or processes for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The ChloraShield™ dressing does not perform any such analysis.

The device is clearly intended for direct application to the body for wound care and site protection.

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

A clinical study was conducted which compared the tolerability (frequency and severity of skin reactions) at skin sites across a wear period of seven days. Forty-five subjects participated in the study (15 subjects per treatment group).
The safety assessment in the clinical study was designed to evaluate if an exaggerated use model would cause irritation or adverse events in normal healthy volunteers when receiving multiple test article applications over a seven-day duration of exposure. The study design employed an initial high dose exposure, (7 times the exposure of the intended clinical use), on Day 1 and daily descending exposure of one patch each day over the 7 day wear period.
The tolerability of the proposed device was found to be equivalent to the predicate devices and additional detail is provided in the submission. the use of placebos and, comparisons against the predicate devices including tests on mice, rabbits and guinea pigs. Standardized test methods from ASTM and ISO were used in this testing and are described in the submission.
