No
The summary describes a wound dressing kit for negative pressure wound therapy and does not mention any AI or ML components.
Yes
The device is described as promoting wound healing by removing fluids, exudates, infectious material, and tissue debris, which are therapeutic actions. It is indicated for managing various types of wounds, directly linking its function to treatment and healing.
No
The device is described as a Carilex VT Dressing Kit, which is a wound dressing used with a suction pump for negative pressure wound therapy to manage wounds by removing fluids and promoting wound healing. Its function is therapeutic, not diagnostic.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "wound dressing" made of physical materials (polyether and polyurethane) and is sterilized. It is a physical component used with a separate suction pump, not a software application.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for managing wounds through the removal of fluids and promoting wound healing. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The device is described as a wound dressing used with a suction pump for negative pressure wound therapy. This is a physical therapy applied to the wound, not a test performed on a sample from the body to diagnose a condition.
- Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing information about a patient's health status or disease.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.

Summary of Performance Studies
The following tests were performed to determine substantial equivalence:
The biocompatibility tests were performed with the final finished form of VT Dressing Kits in accordance with ISO 10993. In addition, an extractable/leachable study and associated risk assessment were carried out to evaluate the biocompatibility of the device. The dressing kits have been shown to be biocompatible for the intended use.
Performance/Comparison Testing of VT Dressing Kits with the predicate. The dressing kits met all pre-determined acceptance criteria and passed the tests.

Dear Maria Griffin:
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, 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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good

9. Discussion of Non-Clinical Tests Performed for Determination of Substantial Equivalence are as follows:
The following tests were performed to determine substantial equivalence:
The biocompatibility tests were performed with the final finished form of VT Dressing Kits in accordance with ISO 10993. In addition, an extractable/leachable study and associated risk assessment were carried out to evaluate the biocompatibility of the device. The dressing kits have been shown to be biocompatible for the intended use.
Performance/Comparison Testing of VT Dressing Kits with the predicate. The dressing kits met all pre-determined acceptance criteria and passed the tests.
10. Clinical Test
Clinical tests were not performed.
11. Conclusion
After analyzing intended use, indications for use, technology, bench test reports, shelf-life reports, sterilization reports, and biocompatibility reports, it can be concluded that Carilex VT Dressing Kits is substantially equivalent to the predicate device DeRoyal Foam Kits (K112458).
