Intended Use
The ReliaTect™ Post-Op Dressing with CHG is intended to cover and protect a wound caused by percutaneous medical devices such as drains, chest tubes, orthopedic pins, fixtures, and wires. ReliaTect™ may also be used to cover and secure a primary dressing. ReliaTect™ inhibits microbial growth within the dressing and prevents external contamination.
Device Description
The ReliaTect™ Post-Op Dressing with CHG is a transparent adhesive dressing integrated with Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG), a well-known antiseptic agent with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity.
More Information

No
The device description and intended use focus on the physical properties and antimicrobial agent of the dressing, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device is a dressing intended to protect wounds and inhibit microbial growth, not to treat a disease or condition itself.

No

The device is a post-operative dressing intended to cover and protect wounds and inhibit microbial growth, not to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device is a physical dressing with an integrated chemical agent (CHG), not a software program.

Based on the provided information, the ReliaTect™ Post-Op Dressing with CHG is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to cover and protect wounds and inhibit microbial growth on the wound surface and within the dressing. This is a topical application for wound management.
  • Device Description: It's a transparent adhesive dressing with an antiseptic agent (CHG). This describes a physical barrier and a chemical agent applied externally.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body to provide information about a patient's health status, diagnose conditions, or monitor treatment. The ReliaTect™ dressing does not perform any such analysis of biological specimens.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies described (antimicrobial efficacy, wound healing in animals) are relevant to a wound dressing, not an IVD device.

In summary, the ReliaTect™ Post-Op Dressing with CHG is a wound care product, not an IVD.

Device Description

The ReliaTect™ Post-Op Dressing with CHG is a transparent adhesive dressing integrated with Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG), a well-known antiseptic agent with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity.

In vitro testing (barrier and log reduction) demonstrates the ReliaTect™ Post-Op Dressing with CHG provides an effective barrier against external contamination including fluids (waterproof) and a variety of gram-positive bacteria, gramnegative bacteria, and yeast within the dressing including: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Staphylococcus epidermidis, Enterococcus faecalis (VRE), Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter aerogenes, Klebsiella pneumonia, and Candid albicans. Reduction in the colonization or microbial growth on the device has not been shown to correlate with a reduction in infections in patients. Clinical studies to evaluate reduction in infection have not been performed.

Summary of Performance Studies

Bench testing studies, including antimicrobial efficacy, demonstrate the two devices have comparable performance. The Intended Use of the ReliaTect™ is equivalent to the SurgiClear™ device.

Performance testing was completed on various characteristics to ensure product requirements were satisfied as well as for comparison aqainst the predicate product. The acceptance criteria were met for all characteristics and comparison against the predicate demonstrated equivalent performance. Performance tests included:

  • Fluid Handling Capacity
  • Static Absorption
  • Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate
  • Peel Adhesion to Polyethylene
  • Liner Release
  • Antimicrobial Effectiveness
  • Transparency
  • Peel Adhesion to Sutures

Antimicrobial effectiveness testing performed demonstrates that the presence of CHG within the dressing inhibits microbial growth within the dressing.

The ReliaTect™ Post-Op Dressing with CHG was subjected to a wound healing evaluation through a porcine study. The objective of this study was to evaluate the wound healing impact of the Post-Op dressing with an active antimicrobial agent on full thickness incisional wounds in Yucatan miniature swine. Results of the study demonstrate the ReliaTect™ Post-Op Dressing and the predicate device achieved equivalent performance.
