Intended Use
BIONECT® Cream is indicated for the dressing and management of partial to full thickness dermal ulcers (pressure sores, venous stasis ulcers, arterial ulcers, diabetic ulcers), wounds including cuts, abrasions, donor sites, and post-operative incisions, irritations of the skin, and first and second degree burns. The dressing is intended to cover a wound or burn on a patient's skin, and protect against abrasion, friction, and desiccation.
Device Description
BIONECT® Cream acts to provide a moist wound environment and protect the wound. BIONECT® Cream was designed to provide a soothing, moist environment for easy application to various types of wounds as a hydrogel dressing. BIONECT® Cream is prepared from sodium hyaluronate and purified water to form a hydrogel dressing. Sodium hyaluronate is a polysaccharide biopolymer that can increase the viscosity of the gel. BIONECT® Cream was designed to provide a moist wound healing environment.
More Information

No
The device description and intended use focus on the properties of a hydrogel dressing for wound management. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven analytical capabilities.

Yes
The product is a cream indicated for the dressing and management of various types of dermal ulcers and wounds, and it is intended to cover and protect wounds and burns, which are therapeutic actions.

No
Explanation: The device is a cream indicated for dressing and managing wounds, providing a moist wound environment, and protecting against abrasion and desiccation. It treats wounds rather than diagnosing conditions.

No

The device is described as a cream, which is a physical substance applied to the skin, indicating it is a hardware/physical medical device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use of BIONECT® Cream is for the dressing and management of various types of wounds and burns on a patient's skin. It acts as a topical dressing to provide a moist wound environment and protection.
  • Device Description: The description details the composition and function of the cream as a hydrogel dressing applied to the skin.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. BIONECT® Cream is applied in vivo (on the body) and does not analyze biological specimens.

Therefore, BIONECT® Cream falls under the category of a topical wound dressing or medical device for wound management, not an IVD.

Summary of Performance Studies

Biocompatibility testing has been performed as recommended in the "Draft Guidance for the Preparation of a Premarket Notification for a Non-Interactive Wound and Burn Dressing." These tests all support the safe use of BIONECT® Cream as a hydrogel temporary dressing in contact with breached or compromised skin. Clinical experience in approximately 600 patients with various types of ulcers, burns, and surgical wounds in 21 clinical trials (18 controlled) conducted in Europe indicates that BIONECT® Cream is safe for its intended use.
