Intended Use
SoloSite® Gel Conformable Dressing is used to create a moist wound environment for the treatment of minor conditions such as: - Minor burns - Superficial lacerations, cuts and abrasions (partial thickness wounds) and skin tears Under the direction of a healthcare professional, SoloSite® Gel Conformable Dressing is used to create a moist wound environment for the management of: - Venous ulcers (leg ulcers) - Surgical incisions - Diabetic foot ulcers - Pressure ulcers (including stage IV). Additionally, SoloSite® Gel Conformable Dressing, creates a moist wound environment which assists in autolytic debridement of wounds covered with necrotic tissue.
Device Description
SoloSite® Gel Conformable Dressing is a non woven (70/30 rayon polyester blend) dressing impregnated with SoloSite® wound gel contained in a heat sealable, peal apart metalized/polyethylene pouch. The product is applied in such a manner to completely cover the wound surface with the dressing and secured in place with an appropriate secondary dressing. Gel conformable dressings are indicated to provide covering of the wound bed as well as creating a moist wound healing environment.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the material properties and biological effects of a wound dressing, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is intended for the treatment and management of various wound types, including burns, lacerations, and ulcers, which are medical conditions, thereby classifying it as a therapeutic device.

No.
The device is a dressing used to create a moist wound environment for treatment, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a non-woven dressing impregnated with wound gel, indicating it is a physical, material-based device, 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 dressing applied to wounds to create a moist environment for healing and debridement. This is a direct application to the body surface for therapeutic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical dressing material impregnated with a gel, designed to be applied externally to a wound.
  • Lack of In Vitro Testing: The description of the device and its intended use does not involve testing samples outside of the body (in vitro) to diagnose a condition or provide information about a patient's health status. The performance studies mentioned are related to biocompatibility and safety when applied to the body.

IVD devices are typically used to examine specimens such as blood, urine, or tissue samples to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. This device does not perform such a function.

Summary of Performance Studies

The submission discusses biocompatibility tests:

  • Cytotoxicity: An in vitro test based on ISO 10993-5. Conclusion: "no evidence of causing cell lysis or toxicity grater then a USP grade of 2 (mild reactivity). The test article was mildly cytotoxic an passed this ISO study."
  • Animal Primary Irritation: Evaluated per FHSA Regulations, 16 CFR 1500. Conclusion: "The test article would not be considered a primary irritant to the skin since the empirical score was less than 5.00."
  • Delayed Contact Sensitization Study in the Guinea Pig (Repeated Patch Method): Based on ISO 10, Part 10. Conclusion: "no evidence of causing delayed dermal contact sensitization in the guinea pig."
  • Acute Systemic Toxicity Study in The Mouse: Based on ISO: Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices, Part 11. Conclusion: "there was no mortality or evidence of significant systemic toxicity."
  • Genotoxicity: Salmonella typhimurium - Reverse Mutation Study: Conclusion: "SoloSite CWD was not considered to be mutagenic to Salmonella typhimurium tester strains"
  • Hemolysis Study - In Vitro Procedure (Extract Method): Conclusion: "The test article extract was nonhemolytic."

Bio Compatibility

Cytotoxicity

An in vitro biocompatibility test, based on the International Organization for Standardization (ISO 10993-5) guidelines, was conducted on the test article, SoloSite® Gel Conformable Dressing, in order to determine the potential for in vitro cvtotoxicity.

Conclusion: Under the conditions of this study, the test article showed no evidence of causing cell lysis or toxicity grater then a USP grade of 2 (mild reactivity). The test article was mildly cytotoxic an passed this ISO study.

Animal Primary Irritation

The test article, SoloSite® Gel Conformable Dressing, was evaluated for primary skin irritation in accordance with the guidelines of the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA) Regulations, 16 CFR 1500.

Under conditions of this study, barely perceptible irritation was observed on the skin of the rabbits. The primary irritation index was calculated to be 0.88.

Conclusion: The test article would not be considered a primary irritant to the skin since the empirical score was less than 5.00.

Delayed Contact Sensitization Study in the Guinea Pig (Repeated Patch Method)

A study was conducted in the guinea pig to evaluate the potential for delayed dermal contact sensitization of SoloSite® Gel Conformable Dressing. The study was conducted based on the requirements of the International Organization for Standardization Part 10: Tests for Irritation and Sensitization.

Conclusion: Under the conditions of this study, the test article showed no evidence of causing delayed dermal contact sensitization in the guinea pig.

Acute Systemic Toxicity Study in The Mouse

The test article, SoloSite® Gel Conformable Dressing, was evaluated for systemic toxicity based on the requirements of the International Organization for Standardization: Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices, Part 11: Tests for Systemic Toxicity.

Conclusion: Under the conditions of this test there was no mortality or evidence of significant systemic toxicity.

Genotoxicity: Salmonella typhimurium - Reverse Mutation Study

A Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation standard plate incorporation study was conducted to determine whether SoloSite® Gel Conformable Dressing, would cause mutagenic changes in histidine-dependent Salmonella typhimurium strains in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation

Under the conditions of this assay, SoloSite CWD was not Conclusion: considered to be mutagenic to Salmonella typhimurium tester strains

Hemolysis Study - In Vitro Procedure (Extract Method)

The test article, SoloSite® Gel Conformable Dressing, was evaluated to determine whether the presence of any leachable chemicals from the test article would cause in vitro red blood cell hemolysis.

Conclusion: Under the conditions of this study, the mean hemolytic index for the test article extract was 0%. The test article extract was nonhemolytic.

Preservation

SoloSite® Gel Conformable Dressing is a preserved product and does not undergo sterilization.
