Intended Use
The SureSkin™ Plus STANDARD and SureSkin™ Plus BORDER hydrocolloid wound dressings are indicated for the management of lightly to heavily exudating wounds, such as pressure sores and leg ulcers. The SureSkin™ Plus THIN hydrocolloid wound dressing is indicated for the management of dry to lightly exudating wounds, such as pressure sores and leg ulcers. The SureSkin™ Plus dressings are also indicated for use on superficial wounds and abrasions. second degree burns, and donor sites.
Device Description
The new SureSkin™ Plus Standard, SureSkin™ Plus Border, and SureSkin™ Plus Thin hydrocolloid wound dressings are identical to the predicate SureSkin™ products except for a slight change in the hydrocolloid materials. The materials are the same except that mineral oil has been added and gelatin has been omitted from the hydrocolloid. The SureSkin® Plus Hydrocolloid Wound Dressings manufactured by Euromed, Inc. are wound dressings composed of a hydrocolloid material which is in contact with the wound, and an occlusive polyurethane backing. The dressing is identical in design, function and intended use to the commercially available predicate SureSkin™ wound dressings. The only difference is the slight change in formulation of the materials.

The document describes a hydrocolloid wound dressing with a slight material change and does not mention any computational or analytical capabilities.

No.

The device is a wound dressing designed for the management of exudating wounds and superficial injuries, which is explicitly stated in the "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section. It functions as a hydrocolloid dressing to protect and manage wounds, not to provide therapeutic treatment in the sense of curing or actively intervening in disease processes beyond wound management.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a hydrocolloid wound dressing used for the management of various types of wounds. Its function is to cover and protect wounds, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a wound dressing composed of physical materials (hydrocolloid and polyurethane backing), indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is a wound dressing for managing various types of wounds. This is a topical application for wound care, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details the composition and function of a wound dressing. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information
    • Using reagents or assays
    • Measuring biomarkers

Therefore, the SureSkin™ Plus hydrocolloid wound dressings are classified as medical devices for wound management, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

Dear Ms. McNamara-Cullinane:

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