Intended Use

Tegagen HI & HG alginate dressings are intended for use on partial and full thickness wounds with moderate to heavy exudate, eg:

  • Pressure ulcers Arterial Ulcers Venous ulcers Diabetic ulcers Superficial wounds; such as cuts and abrasions Donor wounds Post-operative wounds Trauma wounds Dermal lesions
    Tegagen HI & HG alginate dressings are also intended to help control minor bleeding.
Device Description

These are nonwoven dressings made from 100% pharmaceutical grade calcium alginate harvested from seaweed. The nonwoven alginate fiber dressings are highly conformable, soft, absorbent, sterile, primary wound dressings that become "gels" when they come into contact with wound exudate to form a gelatinous mass which provides a moist healing environment. Use of any dressing, including Tegagen HG and HI alginate dressings, should be part of a well defined protocol for dermal wound management.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) summary for the 3M™ Tegagen™ HI Alginate Dressing and 3M™ Tegagen™ HG Alginate Dressing. It states that substantial equivalence was provided in previous 510(k) applications (K953781 and K980989) and that biocompatibility test results were also presented in those previous applications. Therefore, there is no new study or acceptance criteria information in the provided text to describe.

The letter explicitly states: "The 510(k) submission was not re-reviewed." (Page 0, K982638, Jun 11, 2023 letter) and "This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of August 21, 1998." (Page 1, K982638, Mar 1 9 2007 letter). This indicates that the current document is an administrative update and a correction to previous approvals, not a new submission with new performance studies.

Hence, I cannot provide the requested information about acceptance criteria, device performance, study details, sample sizes, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, multi-reader multi-case studies, standalone performance, or ground truth details. This information would have been contained in the original 510(k) submissions (K953781 and K980989) which are not provided here.

Dear Mr. Dagnon:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of August 21, 1998.

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act including requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration and the following limitations:

  1. This device may not be labeled for use on third degree burns.

  2. This device may not be labeled as having any accelerating effect on the rate of wound healing or epithelization.

  3. This device may not be labeled as a long-term, permanent, or no-change dressing, or as an artificial (synthetic) skin.

{2}------------------------------------------------

Page 2 - Ms. Anna E. McRight

  1. 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).

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to continue marketing your device as described in your Section 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), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115.
