The summary describes a traditional wound dressing and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.
No
This device is a wound dressing, which helps manage wounds but does not actively treat a disease or condition in a therapeutic sense.
No
The provided text describes Aquacel Hydrofiber Wound Dressing as a treatment for various wounds, not a tool for diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "non-absorbable wound dressing," which is a physical product, 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 wound dressing for various types of wounds. This is a topical application for treating the wound itself, not for analyzing a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
- Device Description: It's described as a "non-absorbable wound dressing," which aligns with a device applied externally to a wound.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. This wound dressing does not fit that description.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use

Aquacel Hydrofiber Wound Dressing is a non-absorbable wound dressing. For Over The Counter use, Aquacel may be used for abrasions, lacerations, minor cuts, minor scalds and burns. Under the supervision of a healthcare professional, Aquacel may also be used for wounds such as leg ulcers, pressure ulcers (Stages I-IV), diabetic ulcers, surgical wounds (post-operative, donor sites, dermatological), burns (first and second degree), and the management of surgical or traumatic wounds which have been left to heal by secondary intention. Aquacel may also be used for the local management of wounds that are prone to bleeding such as wounds that have been mechanically or surgically debrided, donor sites, and traumatic wounds. Aquacel may be used in the control of minor bleeding.
Aquacel Hydrofiber Wound Dressing is contraindicated for use on individuals with a known sensitivity to the dressing or its components.
Aquacel Hydrofiber Wound Dressing is substantially equivalent to ConvaTec's Kaltostat® Wound Dressing. Both products are equivalent in intended use and dressing characteristics. Both products provide a moist wound healing environment that is supportive of the healing process by aiding autolytic debridement and allowing non-traumatic removal of the dressing without damaging newly formed tissue.
Data/information supporting the safety of Aquacel Hydrofiber Wound Dressing was presented in Premarket Notification K943258. All testing was performed in accordance with Good Laboratory Practice Regulations.

Dear Mr. Ally
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 2. wound healing or epithelization.
- This device may not be labeled as a long-term, permanent, or no-change dressing, or 3. as an artificial (synthetic) skin.
- This device may not be labeled as a treatment or a cure for any type of wound. 4.
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.

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.
