Intended Use

The intended use of Hylasine™ is for use in nasal/sinus cavity as a space-occupying gel stent, to separate mucosal surface and to help control minimal bleeding following surgery or nasal trauma.

Device Description

Hylasine™ is a sterile, transparent, viscoelastic gel composed of cross-linked polymers of hyaluronan. Due to its physical properties, Hylasine may be used to reduce synechiae and middle meatal stenosis. Its tamponade effect may also contribute to controlling bleeding. Hylasine leaves the site of placement by natural elimination, or it may be aspirated from the cavity earlier at the discretion of the physician.

AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning)

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and clinical efficacy of a gel stent, with no mention of AI or ML.

Therapeutic

Yes
The device is used to separate mucosal surfaces, help control bleeding, reduce synechiae and middle meatal stenosis, and promote tissue healing following surgery or trauma in the nasal/sinus cavity, which are all therapeutic effects.

Diagnostic

Explanation: The intended use of Hylasine™ is as a physical space-occupying gel stent to separate mucosal surfaces and help control bleeding, not to diagnose a condition.

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

The device is described as a sterile, transparent, viscoelastic gel composed of cross-linked polymers of hyaluronan, which is a physical substance, not software.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

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

Here's why:

Intended Use: The intended use is for use in the nasal/sinus cavity as a space-occupying gel stent to separate mucosal surfaces and help control bleeding. This is a direct therapeutic and physical intervention within the body.
Device Description: The description details a sterile, viscoelastic gel used for physical purposes (reducing synechiae, middle meatal stenosis, tamponade effect).
Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition, monitor a treatment, or screen for diseases.
Clinical Studies: The clinical studies focus on the device's effectiveness in reducing synechiae, improving middle meatal stenosis, and controlling bleeding – all therapeutic outcomes.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. Hylasine™ is a medical device used for a physical and therapeutic purpose within the body.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Hylasine™ has been clinically evaluated as a surgical adjunct in endoscopic sinus surgery. Results indicate that this product is safe and effective for this use.

Hylasine™ treatment was compared with no treatment in the contralateral sinus in a total of 30 patients undergoing bilateral ethmoidectorny at three centers. The data clearly show support for the superiority of Hylasine™ over no treatment in the control of synechiae/adhesions and middle meatal stenosis. Hylasine™ also showed a favorable effect over no treatment in mucosal status and regeneration as compared to the contralateral side at certain time points. This suggests a better, unimpeded healing process for Hylasine™ treated tissue. Hylasine™ was also judged as somewhat or very effective in the stilling of operative bleeding in 19 of the 20 patients where this was measured.

The clinical studies demonstrated that Hylasine™ can significantly help to reduce the formation of synechiae/adhesions, improve middle meatal stenosis, allow for unimpeded tissue healing and still operative bleeding which can occur during and/or after endoscopic sinus surgery. The safety profile of Hylasine™ showed that the product was welltolerated.

6. DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE

INTENDED USE OF THE DEVICE 7.

The intended use of Hylasine™ is for use in nasal/sinus cavity as a space-occupying gel stent, to separate mucosal surface and to help control minimal bleeding following surgery or nasal trauma.

8. TECHNOLOGICAL COMPARISON BETWEEN SUBJECT AND PREDICATE DEVICES

Xomed markets MeroGel™ Nasal Dressing and Sinus Stent and Merocel® Doyle Nasal Dressing and Laboratoires Brothier S.A. markets ENTaxis™ Nasal Packing for use in nasal sinus cavity as space-occupying stent, to separate mucosal surface and/or to help control minimal bleeding following surgery or nasal trauma. These predicate devices are indicated for use in nasal/sinus surgery and/or trauma. Hylasine™ is substantially equivalent to these predicate products in that it has a similar intended use and indications across the three products. The subject and predicate devices are made from materials which have demonstrated satisfactory biocompatibility, are highly absorbent for collecting postop fluids and are sterile single use.

Hylasine™ is different from ENTaxis™ in the material from which it is made -Hylasine™ being composed of hylan B gel and ENTaxis™ being composed of calcium alginate fibers. Hylan B has been shown as biocompatible and raises no new issue of safety or effectiveness.

Hylasine™ is different from Merocel® also in the material from which it is made -Merocel® being composed of hydroxylated polyvinyl acetal. Both products have a tamponade effect, Hylasine™ in the sinus cavities and Merocel® in the nasal passages, following surgery.

Hylasine™ and MeroGel™ are both made from derivatives of hyaluronic acid; the form of the product is different. Hylasine™ is introduced into the sinus cavities as a gel whereas MeroGel™ changes from its original form of a white fibrous material with a physical appearance similar to spun cotton, to a gelatinous mass once it is introduced into the nasal/sinus cavities. Due to its pseudoplastic properties, hylan B (which makes up Hylasine™) can be easily inserted and removed from the passageways, although hylan B also leaves the site of placement via normal outflow channels. Animal and clinical studies showed no toxic reaction to hylan B.

In conclusion. Hylasine™ has the same intended use as the marketed devices and differs only in the material or form of the material. All four devices are used during surgery and/or post-surgically to prevent adhesions and/or to control bleeding.

SUMMARY OF PRECLINICAL SAFETY STUDIES AND CONCLUSIONS 0. FROM PRECLINICAL SAFETY STUDIES Hylasine™ has been evaluated through in vitro tests and animal safety studies. All of these results are consistent in indicating that this product is safe for use as a sinus gel.
