Summary of Performance Studies

Preclinical Clinical Studies: Silverlon® Fenestrated Wound Contact Dressing has been tested to independent standards for biocompatibility. In vitro and in vivo biocompatibility tests were conducted. These included cytotoxicity, sensitization and intracutaneous reactivity, per the guidance of International Standard Organization (ISO) 10993 Standard Series for Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices. Other in vitro testing included the following:

  • In vitro accelerated stability testing for antimicrobial effectiveness on samples aged to the equivalent of 5 years.
  • Kirby-Bauer Standard Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test.
  • ASTM E2315 Time Kill Assay for Antimicrobial Agents Report.

Summary of Nonclinical Testing: No applicable performance standards have been established under Section 514 of the FD&C Act. In vitro testing has been completed to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of Silverlon® Fenestrated Wound Contact Dressing. Bench testing using simulated wound exudate demonstrated that the porous single layer structure of the dressing allows substantially the same amount of fluid removal when compared to NPWT dressing sets currently on the market. The metallic silver provides antimicrobial protection of the dressing. When the dressing is exposed to moisture in the form of water, water vapor, blood, saline, and other forms of liquid it produces silver ions to minimize/reduce the growth of bacteria within the dressing. Antimicrobial effectiveness in the dressing was addressed in separate in-vitro laboratory evaluations using licensed commercial reference laboratories.

Summary of Clinical Testing: No clinical studies were conducted to support premarket notification.

5.9. Technological Characteristics

Silverlon® Fenestrated Wound Contact Dressings are composed of a single layer of woven nylon fiber substrate plated with metallic silver. The dressing facilitates the body's wound healing process by:

  • . covering the wound and acting as a barrier to the ingress of foreign objects (e.g. foam particles, etc.):
  • providing an antimicrobial effect in the dressing: .
  • permitting the passage of oxygen and fluids to the wound; and, ●
  • . permitting the removal under vacuum of wound exudate from the wound (negative pressure wound therapy).

5.9.1. How the device functions

Silverlon® Fenestrated Wound Contact Dressing functions as an antimicrobial barrier preventing materials and microbes in the dressing set from entering the wound. Silverlon® Fenestrated Wound Contact Dressing delivers antimicrobial silver ions in the dressing when activated by moisture. The silver ions in the dressing kill wound bacteria held in the dressing and provides an antimicrobial barrier for bacterial penetration of the dressing which may help reduce infection.

Bench testing using simulated wound exudate demonstrate the porous single layer structure of the dressing allows substantially the same amount of fluid removal when compared to NPWT dressing sets currently on the market. The metallic silver functions as an antimicrobial in the dressing. When the dressing is exposed to moisture in the form of water, water vapor, blood, saline, and other forms of liquids it releases silver ions that are responsible for the antimicrobial effect. Antimicrobial effectiveness in the dressing was addressed in separate in-vitro laboratory evaluations using licensed commercial reference laboratories.

5.10. Indications for Use

Silverlon® Antimicrobial Wound Contact Negative Pressure Dressing and the Silverlon® Easy Aq™ Antimicrobial Wound Contact Negative Pressure Dressing are intended to provide moist wound environment and are used for the management of chronic, acute, surgical, traumatic, sub-acute and dehisced wounds, ulcers (such as pressure or diabetic), partial-thickness burns, flaps and grafts; when used in conjunction with an NPWT pump that is intended to be used for negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), the NPWT system is indicated for patients who benefit from wound management therapy via the application of negative pressure wound therapy for removal of fluids and

excess exudates, infectious material, and tissue debris which may promote wound healing. It provides a non-adherent, conformable, antimicrobial barrier and may help reduce infection when placed under reticulated foam, gauze, or other wound fillers. Silverlon® Fenestrated Wound Contact Dressings may be cut or overlapped to fit any wound size.

5.11. Preclinical Clinical Studies

Silverlon® Fenestrated Wound Contact Dressing has been tested to independent standards for biocompatibility. In vitro and in vivo biocompatibility tests were conducted. These included cytotoxicity, sensitization and intracutaneous reactivity, per the guidance of International Standard Organization (ISO) 10993 Standard Series for Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices. Other in vitro testing included the following:

  • In vitro accelerated stability testing for antimicrobial effectiveness on samples aged to the equivalent of 5 years.
  • · Kirby-Bauer Standard Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test.
  • ASTM E2315 Time Kill Assay for Antimicrobial Agents Report.

5.12. Summary of Technological Characteristics of Device compared to Predicate Device

There is NO technological difference between the subject device and the Silverlon Island dressing. The only technological difference between the V.A.C. GranuFoam dressing and the subject device is that the predicate has the silver-coated nylon adhered to a substrate, while the subject device is simply the silver-coated nylon without the substrate. The other predicate devices also have very similar technological characteristics.
