The 3M™ Veraflo™ Cleanse Choice Complete™ Dressing Kit with and without instillation is indicated for patients with chronic, acute, traumatic, sub-acute and dehised wounds, partial- thickness burns, ulcers (such as diabetic, pressure and venous insufficiency), flaps and grafts.
Both dressing kits are intended to be used with the 3M™ V.A.C.® Ulta Therapy Unit and its associated canisters and cassette for the delivery of 3M™ Veraflo™ Therapy that provides Negative Pressure Wound Therapy coupled with controlled delivery and drainage of topical wound treatment solutions and suspensions over the wound bed. The dressing kits provide sterile disposable components needed for delivery of 3MTM VerafloTM Therapy.
Each kit contains a wound dressing with 10 mm diameter holes specifically designed for use with 3M™ Veraflo™ Therapy (either the 3M™ V.A.C. Veraflo™ Cleanse Choice™ or the 3MTM Veraflo™ Cleanse Choice Complete™ Dressing), an occlusive drape covering the dressing (either the 3MTM V.A.C. Advanced Drape or the V.A.C. Dermatac™ Drape), a tubing set for connecting the dressing to the negative pressure and instillation pumps (either the 3M™ V.A.C. VeraT.R.A.C.TM Pad or the 3M™ VeraT.R.A.C. Duo™ Tube Set, depending on dressing size) and a wound measuring ruler.
The subject dressings differ only in the number of dressing pieces provided in the kit, in the drape materials of construction and in the method of sterilization:
- . The 3M™ V.A.C. Veraflo™ Cleanse Choice™ Dressing Kit is gray in color, has three dressing layers (one with holes, one thin cover layer and one thick cover layer without holes), has a drape constructed of a polyurethane film with acrylic adhesive and is sterilized by irradiation.
- The 3M™ Veraflo™ Cleanse Choice Complete™ Dressing Kit is blue in color, has only one ● dressing piece (which consists of a combination of the layer with holes and the thin cover layer without holes in the 3M™ V.A.C. Veraflo™ Cleanse Choice™ Dressing), has a drape constructed of a polyurethane film with acrylic adhesive and a perforated silicone layer, and is sterilized by ethylene oxide (ETO).
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided FDA 510(k) summary for the 3M™ V.A.C. Veraflo Cleanse Choice™ Dressing Kit and 3M™ Veraflo™ Cleanse Choice Complete™ Dressing Kit.
It's important to note that this document is an FDA 510(k) summary for a medical device (dressing kit), not an AI/ML powered device. Therefore, many of the typical questions for AI/ML device studies regarding ground truth establishment, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, and training sets are not applicable to this type of submission. The performance described here relates to the physical and functional characteristics of dressings in wound care, not algorithmic performance.
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (Not applicable for AI/ML specific criteria)
The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices for a dressing kit. The "acceptance criteria" here are implied by the claim of substantial equivalence and are met through comparative analysis and leveraging existing clinical data for the predicate device, rather than new, large-scale clinical trials with pre-defined statistical endpoints for novel performance metrics.
Implicit Acceptance Criteria (Met by comparison and leveraging existing data):
- Functional Equivalence: The subject dressings perform the intended functions (negative pressure wound therapy, instillation, hydromechanical removal of infectious materials, non-viable tissue, and wound debris) comparably to the predicate devices.
- Material Equivalence/Safety: The materials of construction, physical properties, and sterilization methods are either identical or demonstrably safe and effective.
- Shelf-Life: The device maintains its stability and performance over the proposed shelf-life.
- Biocompatibility & Sterility: Meets all relevant FDA biocompatibility requirements and is sterile at a SAL of 10^-6.
- Clinical Efficacy (Leveraged): The device, in conjunction with the therapy unit, effectively promotes wound healing, granulation tissue formation, and removal of undesirable wound materials, as demonstrated by prior clinical data for the predicate device.
Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance (as inferred from the document):
| Acceptance Criteria Category | Specific Criterion (Implied) | Reported Device Performance (Summary from document) |
|---|---|---|
| Functional Equivalence | The subject dressings ("Cleanse Choice Complete" and "Cleanse Choice") demonstrate equivalent performance in delivering Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) and Instillation Therapy, including hydromechanical removal of infectious materials, non-viable tissue, and wound debris, compared to their respective predicates. | Bench tests and evaluations (comparison of materials, physical properties, finite element modeling of strain profiles, foam changes under negative pressure) were conducted. These tests "indicate that the two dressings are functionally equivalent" and that literature-reported clinical data for one dressing is "also applicable" to the other. |
| Material & Design Equivalence | Materials of construction, dressing dimensions/geometry, and system components (when used with the V.A.C. Ulta Therapy Unit) are substantially equivalent or justified. | 3M™ V.A.C. Veraflo Cleanse Choice™ Dressing Kit: "Same as predicate" for patient-contacting materials, NPWT system design, operating principles. Differences noted in drape (one has perforated silicone layer) but deemed non-significant for equivalence. 3M™ Veraflo™ Cleanse Choice Complete™ Dressing Kit: "Same as predicate" for patient-contacting materials, NPWT system design, operating principles. Differences in color and 1-piece vs 3-piece design, but otherwise equivalent. |
| Sterilization | The devices are sterile and the sterilization method is validated. | No change in design impacting sterilization; data from predicates leveraged. Sterilized by irradiation (Cleanse Choice) or ethylene oxide (Cleanse Choice Complete). Must be sterile at a SAL of 10^-6 (general requirement, met by leveraging predicate data). |
| Biocompatibility | The patient-contacting materials are biocompatible. | No change in design impacting biocompatibility; data from predicates leveraged. All relevant FDA biocompatibility requirements met (general requirement, met by leveraging predicate data). |
| Shelf-Life | The device maintains performance over its stated shelf-life. | Stability testing conducted on production equivalent samples accelerated aged to proposed shelf life (Two years). "Stability indicating parameters for delivery of hydromechanical removal... were within specification." |
| Clinical Efficacy (Hydromechanical Removal) | The device, when used as part of the 3M™ Veraflo™ Therapy system, provides hydromechanical removal of infectious materials, non-viable tissue, and wound debris, and promotes granulation tissue formation, reducing the need for surgical debridements. | A literature search identified 21 reference publications (177 patients) supporting hydromechanical removal and promotion of granulation tissue with the 3M™ V.A.C. Veraflo Cleanse Choice™ Dressing. The "functional equivalence" testing extends these findings to the "Cleanse Choice Complete" dressing. The report states: "This body of evidence supports that the adjunctive use of 3M™ V.A.C. Veraflo™ Therapy... can provide hydromechanical removal... and promote granulation tissue development." |
Study Details (As applicable to a medical device, not an AI/ML device):
-
Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Test Set (for Functional Equivalence/Bench Testing): Not explicitly stated numbers of devices tested. The "test set" here refers to samples subjected to bench tests (material comparisons, physical properties, finite element modeling, foam changes under negative pressure). The document states "production equivalent samples accelerated aged to the proposed shelf life" for shelf-life testing.
- Clinical Data Provenance: The clinical data leveraged is from "literature-reported clinical data" from "21 retrieved reference publications" including "177 patients." This implies retrospective data from various clinical settings and possibly multiple countries, given it's a literature search. It is "real-world clinical evidence."
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not applicable in the typical AI/ML sense. For this medical device, "ground truth" for the bench tests would be established by validated measurement techniques and engineering specifications. For the clinical data, the "truth" is based on the reported clinical outcomes in the published literature (e.g., reduction in non-viable tissue, granulation tissue formation), which were assessed by the authors of those papers (presumably clinicians). The 510(k) relies on the validity of these published clinical observations.
-
Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable in the typical AI/ML sense. There was no human expert adjudication of model outputs or image interpretations. The "adjudication" for the bench tests would be through standard laboratory procedures and data analysis. For the clinical literature, the FDA reviews the cited publications for their relevance and applicability.
-
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:
- Not applicable. This is not an AI-powered device. No MRMC study was performed.
-
If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable. This is not an AI-powered device/algorithm.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- Bench Testing: Engineering specifications, validated measurement results, and comparative physical/mechanical properties.
- Clinical "Ground Truth": For the clinical claims, the "ground truth" is based on the reported clinical outcomes data from the cited literature, specifically "evidence of reduction in non-viable wound tissue" and "impact on granulation tissue formation." Indirect endpoints included "decrease in the need for surgical debridement or visible evidence of reduction of nonviable tissue in photographs."
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set or its associated ground truth establishment.

Performance data [21 CFR 807.92(b)]
- Sterilization: There is no change in the design of these dressing kits that impacts sterilization. ● Only labeling has been changed; thus data from the predicates have been leveraged to demonstrate equivalence in terms of sterilization.
- . Biocompatibility: There is no change in the design of these dressing kits that impacts biocompatibility. Only labeling has been changed; thus data from the predicates have been leveraged to demonstrate equivalence in terms of biocompatibility.
- Shelf life: Stability testing was conducted to confirm that the stability indicating parameters for ● delivery of hydromechanical removal of infectious materials, non-viable tissue and wound debris were within specification for production equivalent samples accelerated aged to the proposed shelf life.
- . Hydromechanical removal of infectious materials, non-viable tissue and wound debris: Bench tests and evaluations comparing the 3M™ Veraflo™ Cleanse Choice Complete™ Dressing to the 3M™ V.A.C. Veraflo Cleanse Choice™ Dressing Kit were conducted to establish functional equivalence of the two dressings with respect to performing hydromechanical removal of infectious materials, non-viable tissue and wound debris. The results of this testing indicate that the two dressings are functionally equivalent and that the literature-reported clinical data for the 3MTM V.A.C.™ Veraflo Cleanse Choice™ Dressing demonstrating hydromechanical removal of infectious materials, non-viable tissue and wound debris are also applicable to the 3M™ Veraflo™ Cleanse Choice Complete™ Dressing.
The testing consisted of the following:
- A comparison of materials of construction o
- A comparison of material physical properties, such as pore size, density, tensile, tear, O elongation, compression, hole size, hole pattern, and geometry
- Finite element modeling of expected strain profiles O
- Foam changes under negative pressure as measured by surface area and hole size O contraction.
Summary of literature-reported clinical data used to demonstrate performance
Real World Data: A literature search was conducted to examine available real-world clinical evidence supporting the use of 3M™ V.A.C. Veraflo™ Therapy with 3M™ V.A.C. Veraflo Cleanse Choice™ Dressing for hydromechanical removal of infectious materials, non-viable tissue and wound debris. The evidence consisted of clinically relevant case reports which were sufficiently well described so that individual patient wound data at an initial time point could be compared to that after therapy has been applied. The required outcome measure was evidence of reduction in non-viable wound tissue (such as slough, fibrotic tissue, necrotic tissue, or other unspecified non-viable tissue) after the stated period of therapy.
The 21 retrieved reference publications (see below) included a total of 177 patients treated with 3M™ V.A.C. Veraflo™ Therapy and 3MTM V.A.C. Veraflo Cleanse Choice™ Dressings. Recommended use in general included instilling saline or a hypochlorous solution with a 1minute to 10-minute dwell time followed by 2 to 3.5 hours of negative pressure (-125 mm Hg or -150 mm Hg). Dressing changes were performed every 2 to 3 days and duration was based upon wound size and other patient factors. These patients presented with a variety of the indicated wound types. The direct endpoint in the included studies was reduction in non-viable tissue.
{15}------------------------------------------------
Image /page/15/Picture/1 description: The image shows the 3M logo. The logo is red and consists of the number "3" followed by the letter "M". The "3" is larger than the "M". The logo is simple and recognizable.
When this endpoint was not directly stated, indirect endpoints were also included such as decrease in the need for surgical debridement or visible evidence of reduction of nonviable tissue in photographs. Each case report was also assessed for impact on granulation tissue formation. The collection of 177 patients treated with 3MTM V.A.C. Veraflo Cleanse Choice™ Dressings included in the examined studies represent real-world evidence across a variety of wound types for patients with a range in age and a variety of comorbidities.
This body of evidence supports that the adjunctive use of 3M™ V.A.C. Veraflo™ Therapy with 3M™ V.A.C. Veraflo Cleanse Choice™ Dressing can provide hydromechanical removal of infectious materials, non-viable tissue and wound debris and promote granulation tissue development in a variety of complex wounds when areas of non-viable tissue are present on the wound surface.
Conclusions drawn [21 CFR 807.92(b)(3)]
Both the subject and predicate device kits have the same technology in that they are sterile, single use, components that are required for use with the 3M™ V.A.C.® Ulta Therapy Unit for delivery of 3M™ Veraflo™ Therapy. They both contain a wound dressing with 10 mm diameter holes, an occlusive drape, and tubing set. The mechanisms of action of each kit component are unchanged. Except for the proposed labeling change that includes the hydromechanical indication, there is no change to the materials of construction and design, methods of manufacturing, intended use population and wound types.
The results of the bench testing support the functional equivalency of the 3M™ Veraflo™ Cleanse Choice Complete™ Dressing to the 3M™ V.A.C. Veraflo Cleanse Choice™ Dressing. Published clinical data supports the ability of the 3M™ V.A.C. Veraflo Cleanse Choice™ Dressing to provide hydromechanical removal of infectious materials, non-viable tissue and wound debris which reduces the number of surgical debridements required, while promoting granulation tissue formation creating an environment that promotes wound healing.
In conclusion, the intended use of the device kits is the same as the predicates and the minor changes to labeling do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness. Further, the performance data provided demonstrates substantial equivalence to the predicates and support for the devices' use in hydromechanical removal of infectious materials, non-viable tissue and wound debris while promoting granulation tissue. The subject device kits are substantially equivalent to the predicate device kits.
