Intended Use
MIST Systems produce a low energy ultrasound generated mist used to promote wound healing through wound cleansing and maintenance debridement by the removal of yellow slough, fibrin, tissue exudates, and bacteria.
Device Description
MIST Systems (e.g., UltraMIST System) are low frequency ultrasound devices, which utilize a fluid (e.g., saline) mist to deliver the ultrasound to the treatment site. The atomized fluid allows the treatment to be performed without direct contact to the patient. MIST Systems are made up of a main generator component, treatment wand, and disposable applicator. MIST Systems deliver low-frequency ultrasound to the treatment site using an atomized fluid mist. The mist is generated from a small, portable system consisting of a generator, a treatment wand (encasing an ultrasound transducer), and a disposable applicator that has been designed to connect to a user-provided fluid source (e.g., IV saline bag). The system provides a flow of fluid (irrigant) to the tissue surface by the use of low frequency, low intensity ultrasound. Only the mist touches the tissue, not the ultrasound radiation surface (horn tip), thus the term "non-contact" ultrasound. The flow of fluid as an irrigant is controlled by a peristaltic pump on the generator unit. The fluid is dispensed onto the ultrasound radiation surface where the mist is generated. The mist is projected by fundamental atomization or nebulization and acoustic streaming or acoustic radiation force respectively.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the physical mechanism of ultrasound-generated mist and a peristaltic pump, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities.

Yes.
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "used to promote wound healing through wound cleansing and maintenance debridement by the removal of yellow slough, fibrin, tissue exudates, and bacteria," which are therapeutic actions.

No

The device is described as promoting wound healing through wound cleansing and debridement, which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components including a generator, treatment wand (encasing an ultrasound transducer), and a disposable applicator. It also mentions a peristaltic pump. This is not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to promote wound healing through wound cleansing and maintenance debridement. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device uses ultrasound and a fluid mist to treat wounds. It does not analyze biological samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide diagnostic information about a patient's health status.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or functions related to in vitro testing, such as reagents, sample handling, or analytical measurements of biological markers.

The device is clearly intended for direct application to a patient's wound for therapeutic purposes, which falls outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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

Testing performed on the subject device to demonstrate Substantial Equivalence:
IEC 60601-1 3rd Ed. General Safety Testing - Testing was performed by Intertek to verify that the change in enclosure material for the Generator and Treatment Wand did not have an adverse effect on the safety or performance of the system. The results of the testing demonstrated that the system with the new material enclosures was as safe, as effective, and performed as well as the predicate device with the previous enclosure materials. The complete test report is included in the submission materials and can be found in VOL_16, Appendix C. Biocompatibility testing, Cytotoxicity – Testing was performed by WuXi AppTec to verify that the change in enclosure material for the Generator and the Treatment Wand did not have an adverse effect on the biocompatibility of the system. Since the Generator and Treatment Wand do not come into contact with a breached or compromised surface, or potential indirect contact with a breached or compromised surface like the Applicator, only Cytotoxicity testing was performed to ensure that the new enclosure materials do not present a new or different biocompatibility issue for the user of the device. The results of the testing demonstrated that the new enclosure materials for the Generator and Treatment wand were as safe, as effective, and performed as well as the previous enclosure material as both were determined to be non-cytotoxic. The complete test report is included in the submission materials and can be found in VOL_15, Appendix B. Consensus standards used in the testing and preparation of this premarket notification may be found in VOL_005, Standards Data Report Forms.
