No
The device description and intended use are focused on the physical properties and composition of wound dressings containing honey and alginate/hydrocolloid, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
Yes.
The device is indicated for the management of various types of wounds (e.g., diabetic foot ulcers, leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, burns, traumatic and surgical wounds) by providing a moist environment conducive to wound healing and supporting autolytic debridement. These are therapeutic actions aimed at treating and managing medical conditions.
No.
The device is a dressing indicated for the management and healing of various types of wounds, not for diagnosis. Its function is to provide a moist environment conducive to wound healing and support debridement.
No
The device description clearly states that the device is comprised of physical components like honey, calcium alginate, and hydrocolloid sheets, which are applied as wound dressings. There is no mention of software as a component or function of the device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens, such as blood, urine, or tissue, that are taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The Medihoney Family of Dressings are topical wound dressings applied directly to the wound surface. Their intended use is to manage wounds by providing a moist environment, supporting autolytic debridement, and promoting healing. They do not involve the analysis of specimens taken from the body.
The device is a wound care product, not a diagnostic tool that analyzes biological samples.

Sizes: 2"x2,"/4"x5" (non-adhesive)/2"x2"/4.5"x4.5" (adhesive)
Dressing with Active Leptospermum Honey: comprised of 100% Active Manuka Honey and are sterile wound dressings for use in moist wound management. The Medihoney Dressing comprised of 100% Active Manuka Honey helps to maintain a moist environment. The Medihoney Dressing with Active Manuka Honey is offered in several sizes including 0.5, 1, and 1.5 oz. tube sizes.
Gel Dressing with Active Leptospermum Honey: comprised of 80% Active Manuka Honey, 15% Myristyl Myristate and 5% Plantacare 810. As wound exudate is absorbed, the dressing forms a gel, which assists in maintaining a moist environment that aids and supports autolytic debridement. The Medihoney Gel Dressings are offered in 0.5 and 1.5 oz sizes
Adhesive/Non-Adhesive Hydrogel Colloidal Sheet with Leptospermum Honey: comprised of 63% Leptospermum Honey and hydrogel both with and without an adhesive border. As wound exudate is absorbed, the dressing forms a gel, which assists in maintaining a moist environment that aids and supports autolytic debridement. The Medihoney Hydrogel Sheet Dressings are offered in 1.8'x1.8"/2.4"x2.4"/4.3"x4.3"/8"x12" (adhesive) 2.8"x2.8"/4.5"x4.5" (non-adhesive)

6. TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
The indication for use is slightly different than the original 510(k)'s for all of the Medihoney Family of dressings, but are similar to those described in the predicates. Section 20 includes a large amount of clinical data from literature to support the new indications. In addition, the proposed indication is included in previously cleared predicate devices. Utilizing the FDA guidance document, the addition of autolytic debridement to the indications represents a general to specific indication. By specifying autolytic debridement, the labeling will simply be more specific in that the proposed indication was covered previously in the general indications.
NO changes have been made to the design or technological characteristics of the Medihoney Family of Dressings since they are identical in configuration and function to those previously cleared. The technological characteristics of the Medihoney Family of Dressings are identical to
8
the predicates since they are all comprised of sterile honey based substrates, intended to function as coverings for various wound types. As stated above, the only change that is the subject of this bundled 510(k) submission, is the additional indication of aiding autolytic debridement.
The proposed Medihoney Family of Dressings and the predicate device are identical in that they are all composed of a dressing that contains a component in the formulation that contributes to a moist wound environment. The proposed and predicate device are identical in the functional and technological characteristics since they are the same device.
The operational characteristics of the proposed Medihoney Family of Dressings are identical to the predicate devices in that they are all intended to be used as primary or secondary coverings for the management of a variety of wounds. They provide a moist wound environment conducive to wound healing and autolytic debridement.
The technological characteristics of the proposed Medihoney Family of Wound Dressings and the predicate devices are identical in that they are dressings that include a moist gel like component and are suitable for the management of a variety of wounds.

As stated above, the only change that is the subject of this bundled 510(k) submission is the additional indication consisting of autolytic debridement.
Section 21 includes clinical data from literature to support the autolytic debridement indication. In addition, all of the proposed indications are included in previously cleared predicate devices described above.

indications previously cleared in the Derma Sciences Medihoney 510k submissions. The labeling for Medihoney Family of Wound Dressings is essentially identical to the labeling cleared for the predicate devices. Derma Sciences believes that the above rationale, the clinical data from literature included in Section 21 and the comparison table demonstrate substantial equivalence of the proposed Medihoney Family of Wound Dressings to the predicate devices.

Derma Sciences believes that the above rationale, the clinical data from literature included in Section 21, and the comparison table demonstrate substantial equivalence of the proposed Medihoney Family of Wound Dressings to the predicate devices.
In conclusion, the Derma Sciences Medihoney Family of dressings is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices with respect to material composition, device characteristics and intended use. There have been no configuration or material changes since the FDA cleared the original 510k submissions. Therefore, the technological characteristics support the substantial equivalence to the original Medihoney dressings and to the predicate devices listed above that have similar indications for use.
