The summary describes a mechanical negative pressure wound therapy system with a pump, battery, and dressing. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would suggest the use of such technologies. The performance studies focus on mechanical function, biocompatibility, and electrical safety.
Yes.
The device is intended to promote wound healing by removing exudate, infectious material, and tissue debris from wounds, which is a therapeutic action.
No
Explanation: The device is a wound therapy system that promotes healing by applying negative pressure and removing exudate. Its purpose is therapeutic, not diagnostic.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components: a portable device containing a pump and battery, a power supply, a carry case, a fluid container pack, and dressing components. This is not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, the NEXA NPWT system is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is for applying negative pressure to a wound to promote healing by removing exudate, infectious material, and tissue debris. This is a therapeutic intervention applied directly to the patient's body.
- Device Description: The description details a system that physically interacts with the wound (dressing, pump, fluid container) to remove material.
- Lack of In Vitro Activity: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health. The NEXA system does not perform any such analysis on specimens. It is a device for treating a wound on the patient.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the device's ability to generate negative pressure, remove fluid, battery life, and safety standards related to electrical and mechanical performance. There are no studies related to analyzing biological samples.
Therefore, the NEXA NPWT system is a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use

It is intended for use in long-term care and acute settings only when prescribed by a Health Care Professional.
Appropriate wound types include:
- Chronic wounds
- · Pressure ulcers
- · Diabetic foot ulcers
- · Venous leg ulcers

Device Description
The NEXA NPWT System is an integrated negative pressure wound management system for use in acute and extended care settings. The system applies a negative pressure to a sealed wound dressing and promotes wound healing through the removal of exudates into a disposable fluid container.
The system consists of the following key components:
- NEXA Device: A portable device that contains a pump and a 1. rechargeable Battery and is supplied with a Power Supply and a Carry Case.
-
- NEXA Fluid Container Pack: A single use polymeric flexible fluid container that stores the exudate removed from the wound.
-
- NEXA Dressing: Sterile single use wound dressing components that are in contact with the wound tissue and a means of sealing to the periwound area. Interconnect tubing includes an integrated negative pressure relief valve that limits the maximum pressure able to be applied to the wound and are pre-set and not adjustable by the user.
