The summary describes a gel for wound management and does not mention any AI or ML components.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device "may be used to aid in the management of superficial and partial thickness burns; pressure ulcers (stages I-IV); venous, diabetic, and arterial ulcers; donor graft sites; superficial through full thickness wounds such as surgical wounds, minor abrasions and lacerations; and irritations of the skin." These are therapeutic applications for treating medical conditions.
No
Explanation: The "Intended Use" section describes the product's function in managing and aiding the healing of various wounds and skin irritations, not in identifying or diagnosing conditions. It provides a moist environment for healing, which is a therapeutic function.
No
The device description clearly states "Brennen Medical Beta Glucan Gel," indicating it is a physical gel product, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The intended use of Brennen Beta Glucan Gel is for the management of wounds and skin irritations, which are applied to the body, not used to test samples from the body.
- The description focuses on wound care and healing. The mechanism of action described is providing a moist environment for autolytic debridement, which is a topical treatment process.
- There is no mention of analyzing biological samples. The text does not describe any process of testing blood, urine, tissue, or other bodily fluids or substances.
Therefore, Brennen Beta Glucan Gel is a topical wound care product, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

You may, therefore, market vour 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 2. 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. 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.
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 (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.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4595.
