Intended Use
PerioStom™ Dental Dressing is an oral wound dressing intended as a physical barrier for temporary protection of oral mucosal tissue and to provide pain relief. PerioStom™ Dental Dressing can be utilized for the pain relief and protection of oral mucosa due to irritation, trauma, or following iatrogenic procedures such as scaling and root planing.
Device Description
PerioStom™ Dental Dressing is a powder based wound dressing comprised entirely of spray-dried chitosan. PerioStom™ Dental Dressing is provided to the clinician in a stainless steel container and can be applied to the tissue via a dental instrument of their choice (e.g. a Prichard or Howard Periosteal Elevator) or a dry gloved finger. PerioStom™ Dental Dressing is also supplied in preloaded cartridges for application to harder to reach areas of the oral mucosa via the FS Dispenser™.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical and biological properties of the chitosan-based dressing, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is described as an oral wound dressing intended to provide pain relief and temporary protection of oral mucosal tissue, which are therapeutic functions.

No
The device is described as an oral wound dressing intended for physical barrier protection and pain relief, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device is described as a "powder based wound dressing comprised entirely of spray-dried chitosan" and is applied physically, indicating it is a physical material, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to act as a physical barrier for temporary protection of oral mucosal tissue and provide pain relief. This is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is a wound dressing applied directly to the tissue. It does not involve testing samples of bodily fluids or tissues in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Claims: There are no claims about diagnosing, monitoring, or predicting any disease or condition.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on physical properties (viscosity, pH), microbial testing (likely for safety), wound barrier testing, and biocompatibility. These are relevant to a wound dressing, not a diagnostic device.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. PerioStom™ Dental Dressing does not fit this description.

Dear Brian Pikkula:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. 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

1

801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4. Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Substantial Equivalence

PerioStom™ Dental Dressing is technologically equivalent to the predicate device, Hemcon Dental Dressing; both are dried chitosan based dressings that are applied to oral mucosal surfaces. Both devices, when exposed to saliva, blood or crevicular fluids, become a bioadherent gel acting as a physical barrier for the mucosal tissue.

PerioStom™ Dental Dressing is substantially equivalent to Hemcon Dental Dressing as evidenced in Table 1. There are no technological differences between the subject and predicate devices.

Both the subject device and the predicate consist of chitosan that when exposed to oral fluids form a protective layer over the compromised mucosa. Both PerioStom™ Dental Dressing and Hemcon Dental Dressing provide pain relief by coating damaged mucosa and protecting it from further contamination and irritation. Therefore, PerioStom™ Dental Dressing and its predicate, Hemcon Dental Dressing, are substantially equivalent.

Biocompatibility:

In vitro and in vivo biocompatibility testing according to ISO 10993 standards for Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, and Irritation/Intracutaneous Reactivity were performed. The testing demonstrated that PerioStom™ Dental Dressing met the ISO 10993 requirements for biocompatibility.

Clinical Performance Testing:

No clinical performance testing was conducted.

Conclusions:

Based upon technologic characteristics as well as the results of comparative non-clinical performance testing, and in vitro & in vivo biocompatibility testing, we believe that PerioStom™ Dental Dressing is substantially equivalent to the predicate K060363.
