Intended Use

For the management of dry to low/moderate exuding wounds such as:

Stage I-IV pressure ulcers Diabetic & foot ulcers Partial and full thickness wounds Graft and donor sites Post-operative surgical wounds Trauma wounds (dermal lesions, trauma injuries and incisions) 1 & 2nd degree burns Abrasions and lacerations

Prescription Use Only (Part 21 CFR 801 Subpart D)

Device Description

The product is a spreadable amorphous water based wound gel comprising a synthetic clay as the thickening agent. The gel provides for optimal moisture management of the wound bed by donating/absorbing water that in turns aids in wound healing. The presence of active silver compounds within the gel provides preservative action and acts as an effective barrier to microbial penetration by inhibiting the growth of microorganisms within the dressing. The gel is clear to hazy and will not stain tissue when used over a period of 3 days though its potential to stain skin beyond 3 day use is not known.

Even with silver content at 550ppm, the gel is not discolored by incidental exposure to intense light such sunlight or to elevated environment temperatures.

The device is packaged primarily in tamperproof tubes (43g) with screw caps though it may be available in other sizes and containers. The tube is contained in a cardboard box with product insert.

Dear Dr. Karandikar:

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.
