Intended Use
BIONECT Hydrogel, Gauze Pads, Foam, Spray, and Clear Hydrogel are indicated for the dressing and munagement of minor burns: superficial cuts, lacerations, and abrasions; and minor irritations of the skin. A health care professional may be consulted prior to the first use of these products to delermine whether these conditions exist. BIONECT Hydrogel, Gauze Pads, Fourn, Spray, and Clear Hydrogel may also be used under the care of a health care professional for wounds such as partial to full thickness dermal ulcers (pressure ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, arterial ulcers, diabetic ulcers), surgical wounds (post-operative incisions and donor sites), and second degree burns.
Device Description
BIONECT Hydrogel is propared from sodium hyaluronate and purified water to form a hydrogel dressing. Sodium hyaluronate is a polysaccharide biopolymer that can increase the viscosity of the gel. BIONECT® Hydrogel was designed to provide a soothing, moist environment that is supportive to wound healing.
More Information

No
The summary describes a hydrogel wound dressing and its biocompatibility and clinical performance, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

Yes
The device is indicated for the dressing and management of various types of wounds, including burns and ulcers, and is designed to provide a soothing, moist environment supportive to wound healing, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

Explanation: The provided text describes BIONECT Hydrogel as a dressing for wound management and healing, without any mention of its use in diagnosing conditions or diseases. Its purpose is therapeutic, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly states it is a hydrogel dressing prepared from sodium hyaluronate and purified water, indicating it is a physical product, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the dressing and management of various types of wounds and skin irritations. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the composition and function of the hydrogel as a wound dressing to provide a moist environment for healing.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information about a disease or condition.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies mentioned are biocompatibility tests and clinical experience related to wound healing, not diagnostic accuracy.

IVD devices are used to perform tests in vitro (outside the body) on samples taken from the body to diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases or conditions. This device is applied in vivo (on the body) for wound management.

Dear Mr. Fiorentini:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notifications of intent to market the devices referenced above and we have determined the devices are 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 devices subject to the general controls provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) and the following limitations:

  • These devices may not be labeled for use on third degree burns. 1.
    1. These devices may not be labeled as having any accelerating effect on the rate of wound healing or epithelization.
    1. These devices may not be labeled as a long-term, permanent, or no-change dressing, or as an artificial (synthetic) skin.
  • These devices may not be labeled as a treatment or a cure for any type of wound. 4.

The labeling claims listed aboye would be considered a major modification in the intended use of the devices and would require a premarket notification submission (21 CFR 807.81).

Page 2 - Mr. Roberto Fiorentini

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 devices are 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 devices 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 devices in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submissions 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 devices as described in your 510(k) premarket notifications. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your devices to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your devices and thus, permits your devices to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your devices 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 devices, 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).
