No
The device description and intended use focus on the physical properties and function of a wound dressing, with no mention of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".
Yes
The device is a wound dressing designed to support the body's healing process and manage various types of wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers, burns, and surgical wounds, which are all conditions requiring therapeutic intervention.
No.
The device is a wound dressing designed to absorb wound fluids and support the healing process, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "one piece wound dressing comprised of two layers of soft, sterile non-woven material" and describes its physical composition and function as a 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:
- Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as a wound dressing for managing various types of wounds. This is a topical application for treatment and protection, not for diagnosing a condition based on in vitro examination of specimens.
- Device Description: The device description details the physical composition and function of the dressing (absorbing wound fluids, creating a gel, maintaining a moist environment). It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples outside the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological specimen to provide diagnostic information. The device's function is entirely focused on the wound itself.
Therefore, the AQUACEL™ Ag EXTRA™ Hydrofiber™ Dressing with Silver and Strengthening Fiber is a wound care device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
AQUACEL™ Ag EXTRA™ Hydrofiber™ Dressing with Silver and Strengthening Fiber is a one piece wound dressing comprised of two layers of soft, sterile non-woven material. The non-woven pads are comprised of Hydrofiber™ dressing and ionic silver stitchbonded together with regenerated cellulose fibers and designed to provide additional absorbency and tensile strength properties. This conformable and highly absorbent dressing absorbs wound fluids, creating a soft gel which maintains a moist environment and supports the body's healing process.

Predicate Device: AQUACEL™ Ag Hydrofiber™ Dressing, K080383
AQUACEL™ Ag EXTRA™ Hydrofiber™ Dressing with Silver and Strengthening Fiber is a one piece wound dressing comprised of two layers of soft, sterile non-woven material. The non-woven pads are comprised of Hydrofiber™ dressing and ionic silver stitchbonded together with regenerated cellulose fibers and designed to provide additional absorbency and tensile strength properties. This conformable and highly absorbent dressing absorbs wound fluids, creating a soft gel which maintains a moist environment and supports the body's healing process.
AQUACEL™ Ag EXTRA™ Hydrofiber™ Dressing with Silver and Strengthening Fiber is indicated for the management of wounds and can be used over-the-counter for minor wounds such as abrasions, lacerations, minor cuts, minor scalds and burns. Under the supervision of a healthcare professional, AQUACEL™ Ag EXTRA™ Hydrofiber™ Dressing with Silver and Strengthening Fiber may be used for the management of wounds as an effective barrier to bacterial penetration of the dressing as this may help reduce infection; partial thickness (second degree) burns; diabetic foot ulcers, (venous stasis

ulcers, arterial ulcers and leg ulcers of mixed etiology) and pressure ulcers/sores (partial & full thickness); surgical wounds left to heal by secondary intention such as dehisced surgical incisions; surgical wounds that heal by primary intent such as dermatological and surgical incisions (e.g. orthopedic and vascular); traumatic wounds; wounds that are prone to bleeding, such as wounds that have been mechanically or surgically debrided and donor sites; oncology wounds with exudate, such as fungoids-cutaneous tumors, fungating carcinoma, cutaneous metastasis, Kaposi's sarcoma, and angiosarcoma; painful wounds and infected wounds.
Since AQUACEL™ Ag EXTRA™ Hydrofiber™ Dressing with Silver and Strengthening Fiber is largely based on the AQUACEL™ Ag Hydrofiber™ technology, the safety and effectiveness of AQUACEL™ Ag EXTRA™ Hydrofiber™ Dressing with Silver and Strengthening Fiber has been demonstrated by the literature and clinical data provided in previous 510(k)s (i.e., K080383). In summary, a careful and thorough review of the literature suggests that Hydrofiber™ dressings have been used safely and effectively in clinical trials for the management of wounds.
Thus we believe that, AQUACEL™ Ag EXTRA™ Hydrofiber™ Dressing with Silver and Strengthening Fiber is substantially equivalent to the previously cleared Hydrofiber™technology based products (reference K080383) and that AQUACEL™ Ag EXTRA™ Hydrofiber™ Dressing with Silver and Strengthening Fiber can be used safely and effectively for the management of wounds.

Dear Ms. Fiedler:
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.
