The Hollister Transparent Wound Dressing is presented sterile and is available in a variety of sizes to accommodate various sizes of wounds.
More Information

No
The provided text describes a transparent wound dressing made of polyurethane film with adhesive. There is no mention of any computational or analytical capabilities, image processing, or terms related to AI/ML. The description focuses solely on the physical properties and intended uses of the dressing.

Yes
The SimpliCare Transparent Wound Dressing is intended to provide a moist wound healing environment and a barrier to contaminants, and it is indicated for use on various types of wounds and IV sites, which constitutes a therapeutic purpose.

No

The SimpliCare Transparent Wound Dressing is described as a medical device for wound care, providing a moist healing environment and acting as a barrier to contaminants. Its intended use is facilitating wound healing, not detecting, monitoring, or diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical wound dressing made of polyurethane film with adhesive, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The SimpliCare Transparent Wound Dressing is a physical barrier and wound covering. Its function is to protect wounds, maintain a moist healing environment, and provide fixation for other dressings. It does not analyze biological samples or provide diagnostic information.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes its application to wounds and IV sites for protection and healing support, not for diagnostic testing.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties of the dressing (polyurethane film, adhesive, application grid) and its function as a barrier and wound environment maintainer.

Therefore, the SimpliCare Transparent Wound Dressing falls under the category of a medical device, specifically a wound dressing, and not an in vitro diagnostic device.

6. Statement of Technological Characteristics of the Device

  • A. The Hollister Transparent Wound Dressing is comprised of two parts: A transparent film dressing with removable backing paper and a foam application grid. The Transparent Wound Dressing is permeable to moisture vapor and oxygen. The film transmits water, but retains other exudate components creating the ideal environment for wound healing.
  • B. Material Biocompatibility: The biocompatibility of the Hollister Transparent Wound Dressing was assessed based on principles and guidelines established by various governmental and standard setting organizations, such as: EN 30993, European Commission (EC) Standard; General Program Memorandum #G95-1, U.S. FDA Office of Device Evaluation: United States Pharmacopeia (USP). Material biocompatibility issues have been addressed based upon biomaterial history or in separate in vitro or in vivo laboratory evaluations using licensed commercial reference laboratories. These evaluations have been contracted either by Hollister or the suppliers of the materials. Based upon the results of this assessment, the materials used to fabricate the Hollister Transparent Wound Dressings are considered biocompatible and appropriate for their intended use.
  • C. Based upon information presented above, the Hollister SimpliCare Transparent Wound Dressings are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

DearMr. Tokarz:

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 enclosures) 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 (QS) 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.
