No

The device description clearly describes a physical paste composed of chemical ingredients, not software.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

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 description clearly states that ProThelial™ & Orafate Sucralfate Malate Paste is a topical paste applied directly to the oral mucosa to form a protective layer and relieve pain. It does not involve testing samples taken from the body.
Intended Use: The intended use is for the management of mouth lesions, which is a direct treatment/management application, not a diagnostic test.
Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties and mechanism of action of the paste when applied to the oral mucosa.
Performance Studies: The performance data mentioned relates to the presence of sucralfate, the active ingredient, and its similarity to predicate devices, not to the accuracy of a diagnostic test.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a topical medical device for wound management in the oral cavity, not an in vitro diagnostic.

Device Description

ProThelial™ & Orafate Sucralfate Paste is an amorphous hydrogel paste formed by the controlled reaction of sucralfate with a limited quantity of malic acid and calcium carbonate solution. The amorphous hydrogel paste formed by this reaction binds reversibly to wounds and is intended to form a protective film that covers wounds, protects against further irritation and relieves pain. ProThelial™ & Orafate Sucralfate Paste may be administered directly to an accessible oral wound to provide an adherent physical covering of the wound bed. Although prepared by reaction of sucraffate with an acid, the polymerized sucralfate self-buffers to a pH 5.0 - 7.0.

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

The non-clinical performance data relied on in this submission for a determination of substantial equivalence is the identical nature of clinically effective component of this and the predicate devices. The clinically effective component is sucralfate USP, without which neither device would function. The non-clinical tests involve those required by USP national standards to verify the presence sucralfate.

3. Devices to Which New Device is Substantially Equivalent

ProThelial™ & Orafate Sucralfate Paste is a hydrogel wound dressing that is substantially equivalent to K043587 Sucralfate HCl Topical Paste and K082856 Carapaste® Oral Wound Dressing, Its substantial equivalence is based firstly on sucralfate being the active inqredient for each of the devices without which neither device would be operative as wound dressings.

Additionally, similar to its predicate devices, the present device requires the polymerization of sucralfate in order to function. Lastly both the present device and the predicate devices have the identical Indication of Use.

As seen in table below, there is no difference between the subject and predicates with respect to indications for use or technology.

ProThelial™ & Orafate Sucralfate Paste forms a protective layer over the oral mucosa, adhering to the mucosal surface, relieving pain and and irritation. The predicate devices, K082856 and K043587 use Hydrochloric acid, a strong acid, to effect polymerization of sucralfate.

Unlike predicate devices, the present device contains nine components each of which purposefully contribute to the operation of the device. Sucralfate is the sole active conveying protective cover for the oral mucosa. Malate and calcium carbonate facillate the polymerization of sucralfate in water. The water provide matrix for the polymerization of sucralfate and a vehicle to hold polymerized sucralfate in place when applied. Xanthan qum and calcium sulfate provide the paste consistency for

the device. Sodium saccharin maintains agreeable palatability of the device while methyl and propyl parabens preserve a microbial-static condition for the paste during its shelf life.

7. Conclusions

Both the present device and predicate devices use sucralfate as the active component to achieve their clinical effect. Each of the devices requires the facilitated polymerization of sucralfate in order for the devices to function. Each of the devices requires direct application, transient contact with the patient and multiple administrations for their use. Proper operation of each of the devices requires mucoadherence of sucralfate.

The non-clinical performance data relied on in this submission for a determination of substantial equivalence is the identical nature of clinically effective component of this and the predicate devices. The clinically effective component is sucralfate USP, without which neither device would function. The non-clinical tests involve those required by USP national standards to verify the presence sucralfate. Sucralfate used in each of the devices is an a-D-glucopyranoside, ß-Dfructofuranosyl-, octakis-(hydrogen sulfate), aluminum complex, molecular weight of 2,086.75 having the following structure:

[AI(OH), ] x [H2O]y (x=8 to 10 and v= 22 to 31)

R= SO AL(OH),

The physical wound covering properties of ProThelial™ & Orafate Sucralfate Paste would be expected to be at least as effective as those of the predicate devices.

No new biocompatibility or other safety issues are raised.

From the nonclinical tests discussed above the subject device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate devices.

The manufacturer of record concludes from the comparison of clinically effective components of this device and the predicate devices that the current device, ProThelial™ & Orafate are substantially equivalent to predicate devices K0435897 and K082856.
