Intended Use
The BeneHold CHG Transparent Film Dressing is intended to cover and protect catheter sites and to secure devices to the skin. Common applications include securing and covering IV catheters, other intravascular catheters and percutaneous devices.
Device Description
The BeneHold CHG Transparent Film Dressing is used to cover and protect catheter sites and to secure devices to the skin. The dressing consists of a transparent film with an acrylic adhesive which contains Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG), a well-known antiseptic agent with broad-spectrum antimicrobial and antifungal activity. The dressing is a barrier to liquid (waterproof), bacteria and yeast, and protects the IV site from outside contamination. The dressing absorbs between 8 and 21 ml of fluid depending on the dressing size. In vitro testing (barrier, kill time and log reduction) demonstrates that the BeneHold CHG Transparent Film Dressing has an antimicrobial effect against, and is a barrier to, the passage of a variety of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, yeast and fungus in the dressing. BeneHold CHG Transparent Film Dressing is transparent, allowing continual site observation, and is breathable, allowing good moisture vapor exchange.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical and antimicrobial properties of a transparent film dressing, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No.
A therapeutic device is one that treats a disease or condition. This device is a dressing intended to cover and protect catheter sites and to secure devices to the skin, with an antimicrobial agent to prevent infection, but it does not directly treat a disease or condition.

No

The device is a film dressing used to cover and protect catheter sites and secure devices, and is not designed to diagnose any condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a physical dressing made of transparent film with adhesive containing Chlorhexidine Gluconate, which is a hardware component.

Based on the provided information, the BeneHold CHG Transparent Film Dressing is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to cover and protect catheter sites and secure devices to the skin. This is a physical barrier and securing function applied externally to the body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties of the dressing (transparent film, adhesive, CHG content, barrier properties, breathability) and its function as a protective covering and securing device.
  • Mechanism of Action: The CHG provides an antimicrobial effect in the dressing and acts as a barrier to prevent external contamination from reaching the site. It does not analyze or test samples taken from the body.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies listed evaluate the physical and antimicrobial properties of the dressing itself, not its ability to diagnose a condition based on analysis of biological samples.

In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs) are medical devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, tissue, and urine, derived from the human body, solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological or pathological state, or a congenital abnormality, or to monitor therapeutic measures.

The BeneHold CHG Transparent Film Dressing does not fit this definition. It is a topical medical device used for wound care and securing purposes.

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

The BeneHold CHG Transparent Film Dressing was evaluated to assure conformance to design specifications. The following performance tests were performed:

  • Fluid Handling Capacity
  • Static Absorption
  • Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate
  • Peel Adhesion
  • Liner Release
  • Final Tack
  • Seal Strength
  • Die Migration
  • CHG/PCA Content
  • Antimicrobial Effectiveness
  • Bacterial/Viral Barrier
  • Sterility

The BeneHold CHG Transparent Film Dressing was also evaluated for safety concerns relative to biocompatibility. The evaluations showed that there irritation is negligible, and that there is no evidence the device causes cell lysis or toxicity, nor is there evidence of delayed dermal contact sensitization.
