Device Description
No-Sting Skin Prep™ is a water based alcohol free liquid impregnated on to a nonwoven wipe or tufted swab applicators. This product is sold OTC for use by ostomates and other individuals who wish to reduce trauma to skin upon removing adhesive devices/products. The product is applied to the skin and allowed to dry. The solvent base evaporates leaving a polymeric film on the skin. After drying, the adhesive device, dressing, Ostomy device, tape, etc., is attached.

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use clearly define a topical skin protectant product with no mention of any computational or analytical capabilities that would involve AI/ML.

No

This device is intended to form a film on the skin to prepare it for adhesive devices, reduce friction, and act as a skin protectant against bodily wastes. It is not designed to treat or diagnose a disease or condition.

No

The device is described as a liquid film-forming product used to prepare skin for adhesives and provide a protective interface, or as a skin protectant. Its function is to create a physical barrier or improve adhesion, not to diagnose a medical condition or ailment.

No

The device is a liquid film-forming product applied to the skin using a wipe or swab, which are physical components, not software.

Based on the provided information, Smith & Nephew's "No Sting Skin Prep™" is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the product is applied to intact skin to form a film for skin attachment sites. This is a topical application for preparing the skin surface.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a liquid applied to the skin that dries to form a film.
  • Lack of In Vitro Testing: The performance studies mentioned are related to biocompatibility (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation) and preservation, which are relevant for a topical skin product. There are no mentions of testing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or performing diagnostic tests in vitro (outside the body).
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is the skin, not internal biological samples.
  • No Mention of Diagnostic Purpose: The intended use and description do not mention any diagnostic purpose, such as detecting a disease, condition, or physiological state.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. "No Sting Skin Prep™" does not fit this definition. It is a topical skin protectant and preparation product.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Bio Compatibility
Cytotoxicity: An in vitro biocompatability test, based on the International Organization for Standardization (IS) 10993-5) guidelines, was conducted on the test article, Skin Prep Wipes - No-Sting Formula. After incubating, the cell cultures were examined macroscopically for cell decolorization around the test article and controls to determine the zone of cell lysis (if any). The cultures were then examined microscopically *100X) to verify any decolorized zones and to determine cell morphology in proximity to and beneath the test article.
The negative controls and the positive controls performed as anticipated. Under the conditions of this study, the test article showed evidence of causing cell lysis or toxicity greater than a USP grade of 2 (mild reactivity). This is not considered significant as the product does not come into contact with open wounds.

Contact Sensitization: A study was conducted in the guinea pig to evaluate the potential for delayed dermal contact sensitization of Skin Prep Wipes - No Sting Formula. Under the conditions of this study, the test article showed no significant evidence of causing delayed dermal contact sensitization in the guinea pig.

Animal Primary Irritation: The test article, Skin Prep Wipes - No Sting Formula, was evaluated for primary skin irritation in accordance with the guidelines of the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA) Regulations, 16 CFR 1500. Under the conditions of this study, no irritation was observed on the skin of the rabbits. The primary irritation index was calculated to be 0.00. The test article would not be considered a primary irritant to the skin since the empirical score was less than 5.00.

Preservation: The product is sold non-sterile. When innoculated and evaluated per USP 23, the product is adequately preserved.

Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)

Cytotoxicity: USP grade of 2 (mild reactivity).
Animal Primary Irritation: Primary irritation index calculated to be 0.00.
