No
The device description and intended use describe a standard wound dressing with no mention of AI/ML capabilities or image processing. The performance studies focus on biocompatibility, not algorithmic performance.

Yes
The device is intended to treat and protect various types of wounds, aiding in their healing process. While it doesn't directly cure the underlying condition, it actively supports the therapeutic management of the wound.

No

The device is described as an absorbent film dressing intended for wound care, specifically to absorb, protect, and maintain a moist environment in wounds. Its function is therapeutic and protective, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical wound dressing, which is a hardware component, 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 a wound dressing designed to absorb, protect, and maintain a moist environment for various types of wounds. This is a therapeutic function applied directly to the body, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a sterile, self-adhesive absorbent dressing. This aligns with the physical characteristics of a wound care product, not an in vitro diagnostic device which typically involves reagents, instruments, or test kits for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition. The function is purely related to wound management.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function falls outside of that definition.

Dear Mr. Negron:

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:

    1. 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 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.
    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).

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. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).
