InterDry Textile with Silver reduces microbial colonization in the fabric. ## Device Story Interdry Textile with Silver is a non-sterile, polyester knit textile substrate designed for moisture management in skin folds and skin-to-skin contact areas. The device functions by absorbing moisture and providing a low coefficient of friction to protect skin. It incorporates a polyurethane coating containing AlphaSan RC-500 (silver-based antimicrobial) to reduce microbial colonization within the fabric and control odor. The product is supplied as a fabric piece that is custom-cut by the user from a multiuse package for single-patient application. It is intended for use in clinical or home settings to manage skin integrity in areas prone to maceration or friction. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Biocompatibility testing performed per international standards confirmed suitability for use. Antimicrobial testing demonstrated the device provides an effective microbial barrier within the fabric itself. ## Technological Characteristics Knitted polyester fabric substrate with a polyurethane coating containing AlphaSan RC-500 (silver-based antimicrobial). Functions as a moisture-absorbing skin protectant. Single-patient use, custom-cut form factor. Non-sterile. ## Regulatory Identification A medical absorbent fiber is a device intended for medical purposes that is made from cotton or synthetic fiber in the shape of a ball or a pad and that is used for applying medication to, or absorbing small amounts of body fluids from, a patient's body surface. Absorbent fibers intended solely for cosmetic purposes are not included in this generic device category. ## Predicate Devices - SurePress Absorbent Padding (21 CFR 880.5300) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

SPONSOR Milliken Chemical 920 Milliken Rd. PO Box 1927, M-209 Spartanburg, SC 29304 John D. Bruhnke, Ph.D. Contact Person: Telephone: 864-503-2844 June 8, 2006 Date Prepared: #### 2. DEVICE NAME | Proprietary Name: | Interdry Textile with Silver | |----------------------|------------------------------| | Common/Usual Name: | Skin Protectant | | Classification Name: | Fiber, Medical, Absorbent | #### 3. PREDICATE DEVICE - . SurePress Absorbent Padding (21 CFR 880.5300) #### 4. DEVICE DFSCRIPTION Interdry Textile with Silver is a non-sterile skin protectant comprised of polyester knit textile substrate indicated for management of skin folds and other skin-toskin contact areas and is offered as a 25.4 cm x 365.8 cm fabric piece, although other sizes may be available. The device provides moisture management to keep skin dry and the device's low coefficient of friction reduces skin-to-skin friction. Interdry Textile with Silver is a single patient use product that is custom cut from a multiuse package. {1}------------------------------------------------ #### ડ. INTENDED USE InterDry Textile with Silver is a skin protectant indicated for management of skin folds and other skin-to-skin contact areas. InterDry Textile with Silver reduces microbial colonization in the fabric. #### TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE 6. Technological characteristics of Interdry Textile with Silver and the predicate product are substantially equivalent in that they are devices designed for moisture (fluid) absorption and are suitable for use on skin. The Interdry Textile with Silver is manufactured from a knitted polyester fabric containing a polyurethane coating (with AlphaSan RC-500) whereas the predicate, SurePress™ Absorbent padding, is a nonwoven fabric made from a blend of viscose/bicomponent with superabsorbent fibers (88:12). The only significant difference between the Interdry Textile with Silver and the predicate device is that Interdry Textile with Silver contains a small amount of a silver-based antimicrobial in a polyurethane coating for odor control. This additional function of Interdry Textile with Silver is minor and does not affect the safety or effectiveness of the device, as demonstrated by the biocompatibility and physical property tests that were performed and compared with the predicate device, SurePress™M Absorbent Padding. ### 7. PERFORMANCE TESTING Biocompatibility testing was performed in accordance with the International Standardization recommendations. Results of the Organization for biocompatibility tests demonstrate that the device is suitable for its intended use. Antimicrobial testing was performed which showed that Interdry Textile with Silver provides an effective microbial barrier to the device itself. Milliken believes that the data included in this submission including the technical characteristics and physical properties demonstrate that Interdry Textile with Silver is substantially equivalent in design, function and intended use to the SurePress device. The additional antimicrobial feature of Interdry Textile with Silver does not affect the safety and effectiveness of the device. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), 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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. {3}------------------------------------------------ Page 2 - Ms. McNamara-Cullinane Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
