The device description and performance studies focus on the physical and chemical properties of the adhesive and mesh, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
No
The device is described as a skin closure system for topical application to hold closed easily approximated skin edges, not as a device for treating a disease or condition.
No
The device is a skin closure system that holds wound edges together, not a tool for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical product consisting of a liquid adhesive, an applicator, and a self-adhering mesh, with performance studies focused on material properties and wound healing. There is no mention of software as a component or function of the device.
Based on the provided information, the Exofin® Fusion Skin Closure System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the topical application to hold closed skin edges of wounds. This is a direct application to the body for a therapeutic purpose (wound closure).
- Device Description: The device is a topical skin adhesive and a self-adhering mesh. These are materials applied externally to the body.
- Lack of In Vitro Testing: The description of performance studies focuses on physical properties of the adhesive (strength, viscosity, degradation) and biocompatibility testing. While there is mention of "In vitro studies have shown that Exofin® Fusion Skin Closure System acts as a barrier to microbial penetration," this is a performance characteristic of the device itself, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample from the body.
- No Mention of Analyzing Samples: IVD devices are designed to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such analysis.
In summary, the Exofin® Fusion Skin Closure System is a medical device used for wound closure, which is a therapeutic application, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
Exofin Fusion Skin Closure System is intended for topical application only to hold closed easily approximated skin edges of wounds from surgical incisions, including punctures from minimally invasive surgery, and simple, thoroughly cleansed, trauma-induced lacerations. Exofin Fusion Skin Closure System should be used in conjunction with, but not in place of, deep dermal stitches. Additionally, the adjunct wound closure device component maintains temporary skin edge alignment along the length of the wound during application of the liquid adhesive.

Device Description
Exofin® Fusion Skin Closure System is a sterile, liquid topical skin adhesive containing a monomeric (2octyl cyanoacrylate) formulation and the colorant D & C Violet #2. It is provided in a single use aluminum collapsible tube packaged in a RXM 48gaPET-200LDPE Film/1059B uncoated Tyvek pouch containing an applicator. The applicator is comprised of a self-puncturing cap and a soft elastomeric brush, which allows the adhesive to spread uniformly. As applied to skin, the liquid is syrup-like in viscosity and polymerizes within minutes. Exofin® Fusion Skin Closure System has a low viscosity. In vitro studies have shown that Exofin® Fusion Skin Closure System acts as a barrier to microbial penetration as long as the adhesive film remains intact. Clinical studies were not conducted to demonstrate microbial barrier properties and a correlation between microbial barrier properties and a reduction in infection have not been established. Exofin Fusion Skin Closure System also incorporates a self-adhering mesh that is applied to the approximated skin edges to provide temporary skin edge alignment of two incisions up to 20 cm each in length until the liquid adhesive is applied to achieve skin closure.

6. Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device.
Exofin® Fusion® Skin Closure System is very similar to Dermabond™ Prineo™ Skin Closure System with regard to intended use, mechanism of action and performance characteristics. Both devices contain a self-adhering mesh that is applied to the approximated skin edges to provide temporary skin edge alignment of up to 20 cm in length until the liquid topical adhesive is applied to achieve wound closure. Both liquid adhesives have the same principle ingredient, 2-octylcyanoacrylate. The Exofin® Skin Closure System has two mesh strips of 22 cm in length by 4 cm in width. The Dermabond™ Prineo™ Skin Closure System come in two configurations, one which contains one mesh strip of the same dimensions and another with a dispenser for the mesh tape which is 60 cm in length.
