## Indications for Use

Institutional Bedding (bed sheets and pillow cases) made with DermaTherapy™ fabrics is intended for use by patients in a hospital, healthcare or home setting who are susceptible to or may have mild atopic dermatitis.

## Device Story

Institutional bedding (sheets, pillowcases) designed for patients with mild atopic dermatitis. Fabric construction uses 100% continuous-filament yarns; nylon in one direction, polyester in the other. Polyester fibers feature non-round cross-sections creating micro-channels for moisture wicking and rapid drying. Fabric treated with durable antimicrobial agent to inhibit bacteria and fungi. Used in hospitals, healthcare facilities, or home settings. Provides a physical interface for patients; moisture management and antimicrobial properties aim to reduce skin irritation and improve quality of life for dermatitis sufferers.

## Clinical Evidence

Clinical study included 37 subjects with mild atopic dermatitis. Results showed statistically significant improvements in atopic dermatitis severity, eczema, itching levels, and perceived quality of life after eight weeks of use.

## Technological Characteristics

Plain-weave fabric; 100% continuous-filament nylon and polyester yarns. Polyester fibers have non-round cross-sections for moisture wicking. Treated with durable antimicrobial agent. Conforms to FDA-recognized biocompatibility standards.

## Regulatory Identification

A mattress cover for medical purposes is a device intended for medical purposes that is used to protect a mattress. It may be electrically conductive or contain a germicide.

## Predicate Devices

- Allergy Control Cover ([K903382](/device/K903382.md))

## D.4 Device Description

The device that is the subject of this 510(k) premarket notification is generally described as Institutional Bedding made with DermaTherapy™ fabrics. Institutional bedding in this case refers to bed linens, generally comprised of a flat top sheet, a fitted or flat bottom sheet, and pillow cases that encase pillows on beds used in hospitals and/or in other healthcare or home settings.

DermaTherapy fabrics are plain-weave constructions of 100% contineous-filament yarns. The preferred embodiment of the technology involves 100% nylon yarns in one direction of the fabric, with 100% polyester yarns in the other direction. The polyester varns have a non-round fiber cross-section to create micro-channels to facilitate moisture wicking and rapid drying. The yarns used in DermaTherapy fabrics are commercially available products, typically used in women's lingerie or intimate apparel. Once woven, DermaTherapy fabrics are treated with a durable antimicrobial treatment to control bacteria and fungi growth on the fabrics. The antimicrobial treatment applied to DermaTherapy fabrics is a commercially available technology commonly used in the textile industry.

### D.5 Intended Use

Institutional Bedding (bed sheets and pillow cases) made with DermaTherapy™ fabrics is intended for use by patients in a hospital, healthcare or home setting who are susceptible to or may have mild atopic dermatitis.

## D.6 Predicate Device Comparison of Indications for Use / Intended Use and Technical Characteristics

The comparison of the DermaTherapyTM fabrics was based on a review of the documentation for the device, relevant aspects of which are included in the company's 510(k) Premarket Notification, and information concerning the predicate device that was available to the company via public sources, i.e., Allergy Control Cover, K903382. The comparison considered material characteristics and the indications for use / intended use. Neither bench, animal nor clinical testing were assessed.

### D.7 Performance Data

- Performance Standards (Section 514 Compliance): no applicable performance 7.1 standards have been promulgated under Section 514 of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, for institutional bedding made with DermaTherapy™ fabrics. Institutional bedding made with DermaTherapy™ fabrics does conform with the FDA recognized standards for biocompatibility.
- Performance Testing: bench testing was performed and all tests showed satisfactory 7.2 results. A clinical study was performed and included 37 subjects with mild atopic dermatitis. Results showed statistically significant improvements in the severity of atopic dermatitis, eczema, the level of itching, and perceived quality of life after eight weeks of using DermaTherapy bedding.

## D.8 Conclusion:

The information and data provided in this 510(k) Premarket Notification establish that Institutional Bedding (bed sheets and pillow cases) made with DermaTherapy™ abrics is substantially equivalent to the afore-mentioned predicate device with respect to indications for use/intended use, and technical characteristics.

Dear Dr. Montgomery:

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.

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. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 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.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled. "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
