Intended Use
NEARLY NETOUCHTMY Stillcone Scar Reduction Sheets are Soft durable silicone sheets designed to be worn on the skin for linited periods of time to reduce the appearance of hyp scars.
Device Description
RETOUCH™ Silicone Scar Reduction Sheets are soft, slightly adherent silicone gel sheets that are applied over healed hypertrophic and/or keloid scars. The sheets are not made of medical grade silicone and are not sterile. The sheets are rectangular and come in three sizes, 3.5 cm x 7 cm, 7 cm x 10.5 cm and 10.5 cm x 14 cm. They are approximately .125 of an inch thick. The customers will determine which size sheet is best for their own application. A sheet will not remove or eliminate the scar but will flatten and soften the scar tissue and help improve and regain the natural skin color. The sheets are not for use on an open wound, are not sterile but can be washed. They are to be temporarily used on old or new healed hypertrophic or keloid scars and can be cut to other shapes if necessary.

No
The device description and intended use focus solely on the physical properties and application of silicone sheets for scar reduction, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

Yes
The device is intended to reduce the appearance of hypertrophic scars by flattening and softening scar tissue and helping improve and regain natural skin color, which constitutes a therapeutic effect.

No
The device description states its purpose is to reduce the appearance of scars by flattening and softening scar tissue and helping to improve skin color. There is no mention of it being used to identify, detect, or monitor a medical condition, which are characteristic functions of a diagnostic device.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical silicone sheet, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that the RETOUCH™ Silicone Scar Reduction Sheets are applied on the skin to reduce the appearance of scars. This is a topical application, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to reduce the appearance of scars by being worn on the skin. This is a physical intervention on the body's surface, not a diagnostic test.

Therefore, the device described is a topical medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Dear Mr. Snyder:

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 (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, 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, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (OS) 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.
