The device is a dressing used to support wound healing, which is a supportive rather than a therapeutic function.
No
This device is a wound dressing designed to create a moist healing environment and support debridement; it does not diagnose a condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "dry dressing impregnated with crystalline seawater salt," which is a physical medical device, not software.
Based on the provided information, the "AbsorbaSalt" Cotton Gauze Packing is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, tissue, and urine, derived from the human body, solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological or pathological state, or a congenital abnormality, or to determine the safety and compatibility with potential recipients, or to monitor therapeutic measures.
- AbsorbaSalt Function: The description clearly states that the AbsorbaSalt is a dressing applied directly to wounds on the body. Its function is to create a moist hypertonic environment to support wound healing processes like autolytic debridement.
- No Specimen Examination: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body in a laboratory setting.
Therefore, the AbsorbaSalt Cotton Gauze Packing is a topical wound dressing, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

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.
-
- 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.
