Intended Use
Askina Hydrocolloid and Askina Hydrocolloid/Thin react with a wound exudate to form a soft get which permits dressing removal with minimal damage to newly formed tissue. It may be used for superficial wounds e.g. minor abrasions. It may also be used for the following indications under the supervision of a healthcare professional: •Dermal Ulcers, including - Partial & Full Thickness Wounds - · Pressure Ulcers, Stages I-IV - · Arterial and Venous Leg Ulcers - •Burns Second Degree - •Donor Sites - As an Aid in the Prevention of Skin Breakdown
Device Description
In accordance with section 510(k) for the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, B. Braun Medical, Inc. intends to introduce into interstate commerce Askina Hydrocolloid Thin. They are multi layered dressings consisting of an absorbent hydrocolloid layer. This layer reacts with a wound exudate to form a soft gel which permits the dressing to be removed with minimal damage to newly formed tissue. Askina Hydrocolloid provides a moist wound environment while absorbing excess fluid. The moist environment is supportive to healing and promotes autolytic debridement of necrotic fissue.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on the physical and chemical properties of a hydrocolloid wound dressing and does not mention any computational or algorithmic components.

Yes
The device is intended to treat and aid in the healing of various wounds such as dermal ulcers and burns, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No
This medical device is a wound dressing designed for treatment, not diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a multi-layered dressing consisting of an absorbent hydrocolloid layer, which 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 describes the device as a wound dressing that interacts with wound exudate to form a gel and aid in wound healing. This is a topical application for treating wounds on the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical composition and function of the dressing as a wound care product.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. IVDs typically involve analyzing samples like blood, urine, or tissue.

Therefore, Askina Hydrocolloid and Askina Hydrocolloid/Thin are wound dressings, not in vitro diagnostic devices.

Dear Mr. Alsberge:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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 (the Act). You may, therefore, market your device subject to the general controls provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) and the following limitations:

  • This device may not be labeled for use on third degree burns. 1.
  • This device may not be labeled as having any accelerating effect on the rate of 2. wound healing or epithelization.
  • This device may not be labeled as a long-term, permanent, or no-change dressing, or 3. as an artificial (synthetic) skin.
  • This device may not be labeled as a treatment or a cure for any type of wound. 4.

The labeling claims listed above would be considered a major modification in the intended use of the device and would require a premarket notification submission (21 CFR 807.81).

The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practices, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for Medical Devices: General GMP regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic GMP inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
