BD Surgiphor™ Antimicrobial Irrigation System is intended to mechanically loosen and remove debris, and foreign materials, including microorganisms, from wounds.
The subject BD Surgiphor™ Antimicrobial Irrigation System is a terminally sterilized 450 mL aqueous solution for irrigation and debridement of wounds. The device includes one bottle of Surgiphor™ solution (0.5% Povidone Iodine) which is used to loosen and remove wound debris. The mechanical action of fluid moving across the wound provides the mechanism of action and aids in the loosening and removal of debris, and foreign materials, including microorganisms, from wounds. The povidone iodine in the Surgiphor™ solution serves as a preservative to ensure that no unwanted microbial growth occurs in the solution after the bottle is open.
The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called the "BD Surgiphor™ Antimicrobial Irrigation System." This submission is based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a previously cleared predicate device (K213616).
Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance:
The core of this 510(k) submission is to demonstrate that a modified device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device, not to establish new performance criteria for a novel device. Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" here are primarily tied to demonstrating that the changes made do not negatively impact the safety or effectiveness of the device compared to the predicate.
The main change in the subject device (K221504) from its predicate (K213616) is the removal of the SurgiRinse™ solution bottle. The device still includes one bottle of Surgiphor™ solution. The manufacturer asserts that the fundamental "mechanism of action" (mechanical loosening and removal of debris and foreign materials, including microorganisms, from wounds through fluid pressure) remains unchanged. The povidone iodine in the Surgiphor™ solution continues to act as a preservative.
Given this context, the acceptance criteria are implicitly met by demonstrating that the modified device performs comparably to the predicate device, specifically by showing that removing the rinse bottle does not introduce new safety or efficacy concerns.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
Since this is a 510(k) for a modified device, the "acceptance criteria" are not reported as specific performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or accuracy (as one might see for an AI/ML device). Instead, the acceptance criteria are met by demonstrating that the changes do not degrade performance or safety.
| Acceptance Criteria Category | Specific Criteria (Implicitly Met) | Reported Device Performance/Evidence Provided |
|---|---|---|
| Intended Use Equivalence | The modified device maintains the same intended use as the predicate. | "The BD Surgiphor™ Antimicrobial Irrigation System is unchanged from the legally marketed predicate BD Surgiphor™ Antimicrobial Irrigation System (K213616) in its intended use... specifically, to mechanically loosen and remove debris, and foreign materials, including microorganisms, from wounds." (Page 4, Comparison of Technological Characteristics) |
| Mechanism of Action | The modified device operates via the same mechanism of action as the predicate. | "The mechanism of action is defined by the fluid pressure of the solution dispensed upon a wound." (Page 4, Comparison of Technological Characteristics) This is consistent with the predicate. |
| Solution Composition | The primary active solution (Surgiphor™) remains chemically identical to that in the predicate. | "There is no change to the solution composition from the predicate to the subject Surgiphor™ solution." (Page 4, Comparison of Technological Characteristics) |
| Safety | The removal of the SurgiRinse™ bottle does not introduce new safety concerns (e.g., related to sterility, packaging integrity, or material compatibility). | This is addressed through the verification and validation testing, particularly in the areas of Sterilization, Packaging and Shelf-Life, and the statement that "the change does not raise new safety and effectiveness concerns." (Page 4, "Substantial equivalence has been demonstrated through standards compliance and design verification and validation testing.") |
| Effectiveness | The mechanical action for debris removal is not compromised by the absence of the separate rinse bottle, as the user is still instructed to use sterile saline for rinsing (which is "readily available"). The preservative function of PVP-I is maintained. | "Users are still instructed to use sterile saline to rinse the Surgiphor™ solution immediately after irrigation." (Page 4, Device Description) The effectiveness of the Surgiphor solution itself in loosening debris is inherent to the predicate and is stated to be unchanged. The lack of change to the solution composition and mechanism of action implies no change in effectiveness for the primary function. |
| Compliance with Standards | The manufacturing process and device characteristics continue to conform to relevant recognized standards for medical devices. | "Substantial equivalence has been demonstrated through standards compliance and design verification and validation testing." Specific standards listed include those for Sterilization (ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137 series, 11737-1, TIR13004) and Packaging and Shelf-Life (ISO 11607-1, ASTM F1980, F2096, D4169, F2825). (Page 6) |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
The document does not describe a "test set" in the context of an AI/ML algorithm or a clinical trial with human subjects. This 510(k) relies on design verification and validation testing and standards compliance to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device, given a minor change (removal of one component from a kit).
Therefore, there is no mention of data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) because the studies are primarily engineering and quality control tests (sterilization, packaging, shelf-life) rather than clinical performance studies on patient data.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications:
This information is not applicable to this 510(k) submission. Ground truth establishment by experts (e.g., radiologists) is typically relevant for diagnostic AI/ML devices where a clinical reference standard is needed. This device is a physical irrigation system, and its "ground truth" for substantial equivalence is derived from a combination of:
- The established performance and safety of its predicate device.
- Laboratory testing (sterilization, packaging) against recognized standards.
- Engineering assessment that a structural change (removing a bottle) does not alter intended use or introduce new risks.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
This information is not applicable for the same reasons as #3. Clinical adjudication methods are not relevant for the type of testing described.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:
This information is not applicable. An MRMC study is relevant for evaluating the performance of diagnostic aids, particularly AI/ML algorithms, in how they affect human reader performance. This device is an irrigation system, not a diagnostic tool, and the submission is focused on physical and chemical equivalence and safety, not on human interpretation of outputs.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance:
This information is not applicable. This submission is for a physical medical device, not an algorithm.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used:
The "ground truth" in this context is established through:
- Engineering specifications and design verification: Ensuring the physical and chemical properties of the device (solution composition, packaging, sterility) remain consistent with safe and effective operation as defined by standards.
- Predicate device's established safety and effectiveness: The fundamental "truth" is that the predicate device was already deemed safe and effective for its intended use, and the current submission argues that the modified device maintains this "truth" despite the change.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set:
This information is not applicable. There is no "training set" as this device does not involve an AI/ML component.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
This information is not applicable. Since there is no training set, there is no ground truth established for it.
In summary:
The provided FDA letter and 510(k) summary pertain to a physical medical device (an irrigation system) undergoing a minor modification. The "acceptance criteria" and "study" described are primarily related to engineering validation, quality control testing (e.g., sterility, shelf-life), and a comparison to a legally marketed predicate device to demonstrate substantial equivalence. It does not involve the types of studies (e.g., clinical trials, AI/ML performance evaluations) that would typically require the detailed information on test sets, expert readers, or ground truth methodologies for diagnostic or AI-powered devices. The crucial point of this submission is the statement: "The changes do not impact the safety or effectiveness of the subject device [compared to the predicate device]."

Device Description:
The subject BD Surgiphor™ Antimicrobial Irrigation System is a terminally sterilized 450 mL aqueous solution for irrigation and debridement of wounds. The device includes one bottle of Surgiphor™ solution (0.5% Povidone Iodine) which is used to loosen and remove wound debris. The mechanical action of fluid moving across the wound provides the mechanism of action and aids in the loosening and removal of debris, and foreign materials, including microorganisms, from wounds. The povidone iodine in the Surgiphor™ solution serves as a preservative to ensure that no unwanted microbial growth occurs in the solution after the bottle is open.
Indications for Use:
BD Surgiphor™ Antimicrobial Irrigation System is intended to mechanically loosen and remove debris, and foreign materials, including microorganisms, from wounds.
Comparison of Technological Characteristics:
The subject BD Surgiphor™ Antimicrobial Irrigation System is substantially equivalent to its predicate, predecessor BD Surgiphor™ Antimicrobial Irrigation System (K213616).
The BD Surgiphor™ Antimicrobial Irrigation System is unchanged from the legally marketed predicate BD Surgiphor™ Antimicrobial Irrigation System (K213616) in its intended use, performance, and technological characteristics, specifically, to mechanically loosen and remove debris, and foreign materials, including microorganisms, from wounds. The mechanism of action is defined by the fluid pressure of the solution dispensed upon a wound.
This 510(k) proposes to remove the bottle of SurgiRinse™ solution from the predicate two bottle system as sterile saline solutions are readily available for use. Users are still instructed to use sterile saline to rinse the Surgiphor™ solution immediately after irrigation. As such the subject BD Surgiphor™ Antimicrobial Irrigation System comprises of only one bottle of Surgiphor™ solution containing 0.5% povidone iodine (PVP-I) in phosphate-buffered saline, potassium iodide and Vitamin E TPGS. There is no change to the solution composition from the predicate to the subject Surgiphor™ solution. This difference results in a change to the packaging size and the labeling content. The packaging utilizes the same materials of construction.
The only difference between the subject and the predicate is the removal of the SurgiRinse™ solution. There is no change to the intended use of the device and the change does not raise new safety and effectiveness concerns. Substantial equivalence has been demonstrated through standards compliance and design verification and validation testing.
