Intended Use
Avance Y-connector S is intended for use in the Avance Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) system, to connect and allow therapy of multiple wounds simultaneously by using one pump. The Avance NPWT system, with associated products are indicated for patients who would benefit from a suction device (negative pressure wound therapy), as it may promote wound healing via the removal of fluids, including irrigation and body fluids, wound exudate and infectious materials. Examples of appropriate wound types include: chronic, acute, traumatic, sub-acute and dehisced wounds, ulcers (such as pressure or diabetic), partial-thickness burns, flaps and grafts.
Device Description
The subject of this submission is the Avance® Y-Connector S, which is an accessory to the Avance® Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) System. It allows connection of multiple dressing kits to one pump in order to accommodate large or multiple wounds. We have classified this device as Class II as it is directly indicated for use with an NPWT Pump which falls under that classification, and the Avance® Y-Connector S forms an integral part of the overall system when multiple wound sites require therapy. The Avance® Y-connector S is a polyurethane/polypropylene based single lumen Yconnector. It is designed to function with existing Avance® NPWT pumps and dressing kits by connecting the Avance® Canister Tubing to two single lumen transfer pads which are applied to the Avance® Foam dressings. Use of the Avance® Y-Connector S allows therapy and transportation of exudate from more than one wound simultaneously using one pump. A maximum of two Avance® Y-Connector S devices may be used to connect three wounds to one pump.

No
The description focuses on the mechanical function of a Y-connector for fluid transport in a negative pressure wound therapy system. There is no mention of any computational analysis, learning, or decision-making processes that would indicate AI/ML.

No.

The device is an accessory (Y-connector) that connects multiple wounds to a single Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) pump, which is the therapeutic device. It does not provide therapy itself but facilitates the function of the NPWT system.

No

Explanation: The device is an accessory to a Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) system, used to connect multiple wounds to one pump for therapeutic purposes (wound healing via fluid removal). It does not gather information about a patient's health status or diagnose any conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical Y-connector made of polyurethane/polypropylene, which is a hardware component, not software.

Based on the provided text, the Avance Y-connector S is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for connecting and allowing therapy of multiple wounds simultaneously using a negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) system. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details its function within the NPWT system for transporting exudate from wounds. This is a mechanical function related to wound management, not the analysis of biological samples for diagnostic purposes.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or prognosis of a disease or condition
    • Using reagents or calibrators
    • Performing tests on samples outside of the body

The Avance Y-connector S is an accessory to a therapeutic device (NPWT system) used for wound management.

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

The Avance® Y-Connector S has been evaluated for biocompatibility and for performance within the Avance® NPWT System. The results are as follows:

Biocompatibility Tests:
Cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5): Under the conditions of the study, the components are not cytotoxic.
Primary Skin Irritation (ISO 10993-10): Under the conditions of the study, the components are not irritants.
ISO Closed Patch Sensitization (ISO 10993-10): Under the conditions of the study, the components are not sensitizers.

Performance Test:
NPWT Functionality (Internal Mölnlycke test method for fluid transport in NPWT): The fluid handling properties of the Avance® NPWT System are sufficient to accommodate the exudate flow rate from large exuding wounds. The test setup included the use of the Avance® Y-Connector S to connect multiple wound models.
