Intended Use
Innovative Technologies' Sorbcel™ Alginate/CMC Wound Dressings, are highly conformable, sterile, primary wound dressings intended to provide an environment ideally suited for the management of moderate to heavily exuding partial to full thickness wounds.
Device Description
The non-woven Alginate/CarboxymethyIcellulose fibre preparation, which includes various sizes of flat dressings and wound packing, reacts with wound exudate to form an integral, gelatinous, mass providing for a moist healing environment. The gel may easily be lifted away from the wound, reducing the potential for delicate peri-wound tissue damage during dressing changes. Dressings are supplied sterile in single use pouches or blister packs.

No
The device description focuses on the material properties and function of a wound dressing, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes

The device is a wound dressing designed to manage exuding wounds and provide a moist healing environment, which falls under the definition of a therapeutic device as it treats or alleviates a condition.

No
The device is a wound dressing designed for managing exuding wounds, not for diagnosis. It reacts with wound exudate to form a gel, providing a moist healing environment.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a physical wound dressing made of Alginate/CarboxymethyIcellulose fibre, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is a wound dressing for managing exuding wounds. This is a topical application for wound care, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue).
  • Device Description: The description details the physical properties and function of the dressing in contact with wound exudate. It does not describe any process of analyzing biological samples to diagnose a condition.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting specific analytes (proteins, genes, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information about a disease or condition

Therefore, the Sorbcel™ Alginate/CMC Wound Dressings are classified as a wound care device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
