The device description and intended use focus on a saline-based wound cleanser with a preservative. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any computational analysis of data. The performance studies are related to chemical stability and biocompatibility, not algorithmic performance.
Yes.
The device is intended for cleansing, irrigating, moistening, and debridement of various wounds and dermal lesions, which are actions that facilitate the natural healing process and contribute to the treatment of these conditions.
No
The device is a wound care solution intended for cleansing, irrigating, moistening, debridement, and removal of foreign material from wounds, not for diagnosing a medical condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "saline based wound cleanser" and is offered in physical bottles with different cap configurations for manual pouring or access via a vented spike connector. This indicates a physical product, not software.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that Vashe Wound Solution is for "cleansing, irrigating, moistening, debridement and removal of foreign material including microorganisms and debris from exudating and / or dirty wounds..." This describes a topical application for wound care, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
- Device Description: The description details a saline-based wound cleanser with a preservative. It explains its mechanical action in cleaning wounds. This aligns with a wound care product, not a diagnostic test.
- Lack of Diagnostic Language: The text does not mention any diagnostic purpose, analysis of biological samples, or the detection of specific analytes or markers.
- Anatomical Site: The anatomical sites listed are external wounds and skin lesions, which are treated topically, not sampled for in vitro analysis.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. Vashe Wound Solution is applied directly to the wound for cleaning and debridement.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
Under the supervision of healthcare professionals, Vashe Wound Solution is intended for cleansing, irrigating, moistening, debridement and removal of foreign material including microorganisms and debris from exudating and / or dirty wounds, acute and chronic dermal lesions, such as Stage I-IV pressure ulcers, stasis ulcers, diabetic ulcers, post-surgical wounds, first and second degree burns, abrasions, minor irritations of the skin, diabetic foot ulcers, ingrown toe nails, grafted and donor sites, and exit sites. It is also intended for moistening and lubricating absorbent wound dressings.

Device Description
Vashe® Wound Solution is a saline based wound cleanser that contains hypochlorous acid as a preservative that inhibits microbial contamination within the solution. Vashe® Wound Solution creates a moist environment and loosens contaminated exudate, slough and other foreign materials within the wound bed. As a result of mechanical action of solution moving across the wound bed, dirt, debris, and microorganisms are more readily removed. Moistening and cleansing a wound, such as by using Vashe Wound Solution, better allows for the natural healing process to take place. This device is presented as a prescription product that requires the physician to diagnose the disease state and prescribe the product.
The device is offered in three sizes of bottles, 4.0oz, 8.5oz, and 16.0oz and in two packaging configurations:
Configuration #1: A PET bottle with a laminated induction seal and a polypropylene flip-top-cap configuration enables the user to manually pour the solution directly onto a wound or wound dressing.
Configuration #2: The device is also offered in a PET bottle and a polypropylene cap (with septum configuration that forms the primary seal). The septum cap enables easy access to the solution by a healthcare professional by means of a vented spike connector.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Non-Clinical equivalency testing was conducted for Shelf Life and Evaluated for Chemical Stability.
Biocompatibility studies proved that the product is equivalent to the predicate products as it was determined safe under the worst case scenario of the highest specified concentration of available free chlorine and the lowest specified pH.
Additional in-vitro biocompatibility studies were conducted on keratinocytes and fibroblasts at the upper specification for available free chlorine concentration and at the lowest pH specification.
Non clinical product testing has proven that Vashe Wound Solution is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices as the product has been subjected to in-vivo and in-vitro biocompatibility testing per ISO-10993-1 standards and Preservative Effectiveness testing to USP . These results demonstrate that the product is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed devices.

Dear Mr. Morse:
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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set
