The 510(k) summary describes a passive wound dressing and does not mention any computational or analytical capabilities, let alone AI/ML.
No
The device is an external wound dressing that provides a moist healing environment, manages exudate, and protects the wound from contamination, which are functions of a medical device, not a therapeutic device.
No
The device is an external wound dressing used for wound management and protection, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description and intended use clearly describe a physical wound dressing, not a software product.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device as an "external wound dressing" for managing external wounds and drainage sites. This is a topical application for wound care, not a test performed on biological samples in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition.
- Device Description: While the description is "Not Found," the intended use is the primary indicator of whether a device is an IVD.
- Other Sections: The absence of information about image processing, AI/ML, imaging modality, training/test sets, performance studies, and key metrics further supports that this is not an IVD, as these are common elements for devices that perform diagnostic functions.
IVD devices are designed to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is to manage and protect external wounds.

Dear Mr. Patrone:
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 wound healing or epithelization.
-
- This device may not be labeled as a long-term, permanent, or no-change dressing, or as an artificial (synthetic) skin.
-
- This device may not be labeled as a treatment or a cure for any type of wound.
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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval) it may be subject to such additional controls. 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.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4595.
