No
The summary describes a sterile silicone wound cover, a passive device, and contains no mention of AI, ML, or any computational processing.

No
The device is described as temporarily covering traumatic areas for wound treatment, which is a supportive and protective function rather than a direct therapeutic intervention. It facilitates healing but does not actively treat the underlying condition.

No
The device is described as an external wound cover for temporary wound treatment, not for diagnosing any condition.

No

The device description clearly states "Sterile Silicone External Wound Covers," indicating a physical, hardware-based medical device. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "external use in short term applications related to wound treatment by temporarily covering traumatic areas". This describes a device that is applied to the body externally to manage a wound.
  • Device Description: The description is "Sterile Silicone External Wound Covers". This reinforces the external application.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided information does not mention any interaction with bodily specimens or diagnostic purposes.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device used for wound management, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Varner:

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 (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, 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. Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) 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.
