Intended Use

The Zip 4 Skin Closure Device is indicated for skin closure of minor lacerations. The Zip 4 Skin Closure Device may be sold direct to consumers (OTC).

Device Description

The Zip® 4 Skin Closure Device is a single-use non-invasive skin closure device. A single Zip 4 device may be used to close wounds up to 4 cm (1.5 inches) in length from minor cuts or minor lacerations. The device is applied to clean, dry skin prior to skin closure, remains on the skin during wound healing, and may be removed by lifting one edge and peeling the device from the skin. The device is made of polymeric materials and utilizes a non-latex, pressure sensitive skin adhesive. The device contents are provided sterile in an intact and unopened package.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) Pre-market Notification for the Zip 4 Skin Closure Device. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than on clinical performance for novel AI/ML devices. Therefore, much of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and performance against a ground truth is not directly applicable or available in this document.

However, I can extract the non-clinical performance data and the conclusion that supports the device's substantial equivalence.

Here's a breakdown of the available information:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

The document describes non-clinical performance testing conducted to demonstrate compliance with product requirements, but it does not specify quantitative acceptance criteria or corresponding reported performance metrics in a table format that typically applies to AI/ML model evaluations (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC). Instead, it lists the types of tests performed and the standards met.

Testing CategoryDescription of Tests / Standards Met
Non-Clinical PerformancePerformance testing (dimensional, mechanical, human wear test, biocompatibility, sterility, packaging/shelf life) was conducted to demonstrate compliance with product requirements.
Standards Used- ISO 10993-1:2009 (Cor:2010), Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing- ISO 11137-2:2013, Sterilization Of Health Care Products - Radiation - Part 2: Establishing The Sterilization Dose- ASTM D 4169-14, Standard Practice for Performance Testing of Shipping Containers and Systems- ASTM F 2096-11: Standard Test Method for Detecting Gross Leaks in Packaging by Internal Pressurization (Bubble Test)- IEC/EN 62366: 2014, Medical Devices - Application Of Usability Engineering To Medical Devices

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

  • Not Applicable. This document pertains to a medical device (skin closure device), not an AI/ML algorithm. Therefore, there is no "test set" in the context of an AI/ML model for data evaluation. The "human wear test" mentioned in the non-clinical performance data would involve human subjects, but the sample size and specific details are not provided in this summary.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

  • Not Applicable. As this is not an AI/ML device, the concept of establishing ground truth by experts for a test set is not relevant.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

  • Not Applicable. See point 3.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

  • No. This is not an AI/ML device, so no MRMC study or AI assistance evaluation was performed.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

  • Not Applicable. This device is a physical product, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used:

  • Not Applicable / Indirect. For a physical device, "ground truth" would relate to its physical properties, biocompatibility, and functional performance as determined by established engineering standards, biological assessments, and usability. The "ground truth" is established through adherence to the listed ISO and ASTM standards, which provide validated methods for testing these aspects.

8. The sample size for the training set:

  • Not Applicable. This is not an AI/ML device, so there is no "training set."

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

  • Not Applicable. See point 8.

Summary regarding the device's "study" and "acceptance criteria":

The "study" for the Zip 4 Skin Closure Device was a series of non-clinical performance tests designed to show that the device meets its product requirements and complies with relevant international and national standards.

The acceptance criteria are implicitly defined by compliance with these standards (e.g., ISO 10993 for biocompatibility, ISO 11137 for sterilization dose, ASTM D 4169 for packaging, ASTM F 2096 for leak detection, and IEC/EN 62366 for usability). The document states that performance testing, including dimensional, mechanical, and human wear tests, was "conducted on the subject Zip 4 Skin Closure Device to demonstrate compliance with the product requirements specification either by design analysis or functional testing."

The conclusion states, "The successful completion of the performance testing further supports the subject Zip 4 Skin Closer Device's substantial equivalence to the predicate device. The usability testing that was successfully performed shows that the proposed device can be marketed for over-the-counter use. No issues of safety or effectiveness are raised by the Zip 4 Skin Closure Device." This indicates that the device met the implicit acceptance criteria by passing these non-clinical tests.

Important Note: This 510(k) summary is for a traditional medical device and explicitly states, "No clinical testing was deemed necessary to support the substantial equivalence." Therefore, it does not contain the types of AI/ML-specific performance metrics or study designs typically requested for AI/ML devices.

Dear Nancy Kaiser:

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.

Device Technological Characteristics and Comparison to Predicate Device

The Zip 4 device is made of two pressure-sensitive adhesive patches comprising the Adhesive Base, which are connected to each other by an Adjustable Closing Mechanism. The wound is closed by compressing the skin together with fingers and then pulling the adjustable latching member tight.

The 3M™ Steri-Strip™ is made of porous non-woven material reinforced with filaments for strength. The wound is closed by compressing skin with fingers or forceps and placing the strips across the wound. Steri-Strips are provided sterile in individual packs. Multiple strips can be placed next to each other, 3mm apart, to close larger wounds.

Both the Steri-Strip and Zip 4 devices are tape-based wound closure devices that do not pierce the skin but hold the skin together using tension across the wound. A side-by-side comparison of the subject device to the predicate device follows:
