    Device Description

    Foundation DRS+ Solo is a conformable, advanced wound care device that consists of a porous matrix of chitosan derived from shellfish, sodium chondroitin sulfate, a glycosaminoglycan, and hyaluronic acid. The chitosan- glycosaminoglycan- hyaluronic acid biodegradable, porous matrix provides a scaffold for cellular invasion and capillary growth. The device is applied on the surface of the wound, and provides a moist wound environment. The dressing may be replaced or may remain in place, acting as a scaffold to promote cellular infiltration and capillary growth as the dressing degrades.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the Foundation Dermal Regeneration Scaffold Plus (DRS+) Solo. It details that this device is substantially equivalent to a previously cleared predicate device, Foundation DRS+ Duo (K240298), with the primary difference being the absence of a backing layer. It also leverages information from a secondary predicate, Foundation Dermal Regeneration Scaffold (DRS) Solo (K231937), which also lacks a backing layer but has a different matrix formulation.

    The document states that clinical testing was not necessary to demonstrate substantial equivalence. This means there was no multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study, nor a standalone performance study in the traditional sense of evaluating an algorithm's performance against a clinical ground truth.

    Therefore, the acceptance criteria and study that proves the device meets them are focused on non-clinical performance characteristics rather than clinical efficacy or diagnostic accuracy.

    Here's a breakdown based on the provided text:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

    Since this is a non-clinical submission, the "acceptance criteria" are related to physical and biological properties. The document mentions that the tests performed "indicate that the Foundation DRS+ Solo is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices." This implies that the results of the performed tests met pre-defined internal acceptance criteria for substantial equivalence to the predicates.

    Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
    HydrationResults indicate substantial equivalence to predicate devices.
    Dimensional StabilityResults indicate substantial equivalence to predicate devices.
    Handling CharacteristicsResults indicate substantial equivalence to predicate devices.
    Sterilization (per ISO 14937, ISO 10993-7)Validation performed and leveraged from predicate K240298 and K231937; results indicate substantial equivalence.
    Packaging (per ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11607-1, ASTM D4169, ASTM F2096, ASTM F88)Validation performed and leveraged from predicate K240298 and K231937; results indicate substantial equivalence.
    Viral InactivationLeveraged from predicate K231937; chitosan is identical and from the same supplier as in K231937.
    Biocompatibility (per ISO 10993-1:2018 and sub-parts)Testing conducted and leveraged from predicate K240298; evaluated for Cytotoxicity, Intracutaneous reactivity, Sensitization, Acute Systemic Toxicity, Material-Mediated Pyrogenicity, Bacterial Reverse Mutation, Genotoxicity, Systemic Toxicity Study with Full Thickness Skin Breach, Implantation studies, Bacterial Endotoxins Test, and Biological Evaluation. Results indicate substantial equivalence.
    No new questions of safety or effectivenessBased on all testing, the removal of the backing layer does not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness compared to the primary predicate.

    2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

    • The document does not specify exact sample sizes for each non-clinical test (e.g., number of units tested for hydration or dimensional stability). Regulatory submissions often state compliance with standards, which implicitly defines aspects of sample sizes.
    • Data Provenance: The data is generated from laboratory testing of the device itself and leveraged from previous FDA clearances (K240298 and K231937). The country of origin for the data is not explicitly stated, but it's likely linked to the manufacturer's R&D/testing facilities. The testing is prospective in the sense that it was performed specifically for this 510(k) submission, or leveraged from previous submissions.

    3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications:

    • This question is not applicable in the context of this 510(k) submission. "Ground truth" in this context refers to the defined acceptable ranges and standards for material properties and biological responses, which are established by industry standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM, USP) and regulatory guidance, not by expert consensus on clinical cases.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

    • This is not applicable as there is no human interpretation of data requiring adjudication for clinical endpoints. The "adjudication" is essentially confirming that the test results meet the specified acceptance criteria of the relevant standards.

    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done:

    • No. The document explicitly states: "Clinical testing was not necessary to demonstrate substantial equivalence." Therefore, no MRMC study was performed.

    6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done:

    • No. This device is a medical product (dermal scaffold), not a software or AI algorithm. Therefore, "standalone performance" in the context of an algorithm is not applicable. The closest equivalent is the standalone performance of the physical device in meeting its non-clinical specifications.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

    • The "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests is established by validated test methods, industry standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM), and predetermined specifications for material properties, sterility, packaging integrity, and biocompatibility. It's not based on expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data related to human clinical performance.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

    • This question is not applicable as this is not an AI/ML device requiring a training set.

    9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:

    • This question is not applicable as this is not an AI/ML device requiring a training set.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for a medical device called "Foundation Dermal Regeneration Scaffold Plus (DRS+) Duo." It does not contain information about an AI/ML-driven medical device, hence it does not provide details on acceptance criteria or studies related to AI/ML performance.

    The document discusses the substantial equivalence of the DRS+ Duo device to a predicate device based on:

    1. Biocompatibility Testing: Conducted according to ISO 10093-1:2018, evaluating cytotoxicity, intracutaneous reactivity, sensitization, acute systemic toxicity, material-mediated pyrogenicity, bacterial reverse mutation, genotoxicity (Mouse Lymphoma Assay), systemic toxicity study, implantation studies (ISO 10993-6), and bacterial endotoxins.
    2. Performance Testing: Assessed through additional endpoints within the Implantation (ISO 10993-6) model, functionality testing on aged devices (hydration, dimensional stability, handling characteristics) with saline and autologous body fluids.
    3. Animal Testing: 14, 28, 42, and 91-day implantation studies in a porcine wound healing model on full thickness dermal wounds. These evaluated wound healing characteristics, dynamics, biological response, and residence time.
    4. Sterilization and Packaging Validation: Leveraged from previous clearances (K210949 and K231937), performed per ISO 14937, ISO 10993-7, ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11607-1, ASTM D4169, ASTM F2096, and ASTM F88. Viral inactivation was also leveraged.

    Conclusion stated: "Clinical testing was not necessary to demonstrate substantial equivalence." This means that the device's clearance was based on non-clinical data as described above, not on a study proving human reader improvement with AI assistance (MRMC) or standalone algorithm performance.

    Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information about acceptance criteria and study details related to an AI/ML device per the prompt's outlined points (sample size for test set, data provenance, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication method, MRMC study, standalone performance, ground truth type, training set size, and training set ground truth establishment), as this document does not pertain to an AI/ML medical device.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Foundation Dermal Regeneration Scaffold (DRS) Solo. This document describes the device, its intended use, and its substantial equivalence to a predicate device.

    However, the document states, "Clinical testing was not required for the labeling update to include moistening of the device by autologous bodily fluids, in addition to saline." This immediately indicates that no clinical study was conducted to prove the device meets acceptance criteria related to its clinical performance for the specific change being submitted (the labeling update).

    Therefore, I cannot provide information for all the requested points, as no clinical study was performed for this 510(k) submission. The provided information focuses on non-clinical testing performed to support the substantial equivalence claim.

    Here's what can be extracted from the document regarding acceptance criteria and non-clinical testing, as well as the points that cannot be answered due to the absence of a clinical study:


    Description of Acceptance Criteria and the Study that Proves the Device Meets the Acceptance Criteria:

    The submission is for a labeling update to an existing device (Foundation DRS Solo, cleared under K210949). The primary focus of the provided document is to demonstrate that this labeling change (allowing moistening with autologous body fluids in addition to saline) does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. As such, no new clinical study was required or performed for this specific submission to prove clinical acceptance criteria are met. The document leverages existing data from the predicate device and conducts focused non-clinical tests to address the change.


    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

    Since no clinical study was performed for this submission, there are no clinical acceptance criteria or performance metrics reported in the typical sense for a clinical trial. The acceptance criteria and performance reported are for non-clinical tests and are aimed at demonstrating that the label change does not negatively impact the device's fundamental characteristics or safety.

    Acceptance Criteria (Non-Clinical)Reported Device Performance
    Hydration• Test performed (results indicate no new safety/effectiveness concerns due to label change)
    Dimensional stability• Test performed (results indicate no new safety/effectiveness concerns due to label change)
    Handling characteristics• Test performed (results indicate no new safety/effectiveness concerns due to label change)
    Biocompatibility• Leveraged from K210949, conducted per ISO 10993-1:2018 (Cytotoxicity, Intracutaneous Study, Guinea Pig Max Sensitization, Acute Systemic Toxicity, Material-Mediated Rabbit Pyrogen Study, Bacterial Reverse Mutation, Genotoxicity Mouse Lymphoma Assay, Systemic Toxicity Study with Full Thickness Skin Breach, Chemical Characterization)
    Sterilization• Leveraged from K210949, conducted per ISO 14937, AAMI ST72, ISO 10993-7
    Packaging• Leveraged from K210949, conducted per ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11607-1, ASTM D4169, ASTM F2096, ASTM F88
    Performance Testing• Leveraged from K210949 (Wound Healing Study in a Porcine Model, Functionality Testing on Aged Devices, Viral Inactivation)

    2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

    • Non-Clinical Tests (Hydration, Dimensional Stability, Handling Characteristics): The document states these tests were performed but does not explicitly mention the sample size or exact provenance. These would be laboratory tests, typically conducted prospectively.
    • Leveraged Tests (Biocompatibility, Sterilization, Packaging, Performance): These were leveraged from the primary predicate device (K210949). Specific sample sizes and provenance for these original tests are not detailed in this 510(k) summary. These would also be laboratory or animal studies, conducted prospectively.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

    Not applicable, as no clinical study with human readers/experts establishing ground truth was performed for this submission. The ground truth for non-clinical tests is based on established scientific methods and standards.


    4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

    Not applicable, as no clinical study requiring human interpretation and adjudication was performed for this submission.


    5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

    Not applicable. This device is not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool, and no MRMC study was conducted.


    6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

    Not applicable. This device is a medical product (dermal scaffold), not an algorithm.


    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

    • For the non-clinical tests (hydration, dimensional stability, handling), the ground truth is based on physical and chemical measurements against defined specifications and industry standards.
    • For the leveraged biocompatibility, sterilization, and packaging tests, the ground truth is established through adherence to the specified ISO/ASTM standards and methods.
    • For the leveraged performance tests (e.g., wound healing in porcine model), the ground truth would be based on physiological observations and measurements in the animal model.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    Not applicable. This is a medical device, not a machine learning model, so there is no "training set."


    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

    Not applicable, as there is no training set.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document describes a 510(k) premarket application for the Sentrex BioSponge MPD, a wound dressing. The focus of the application is on establishing substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices and introducing a new claim for use in conjunction with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT).

    However, the document does not contain the level of detail typically found in studies for AI/ML-driven medical device performance, especially regarding specific acceptance criteria metrics (like sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, etc.), test set details, expert qualifications, or MRMC studies.

    Instead, the document focuses on:

    • Technological Characteristics: Stating that the Sentrex BioSponge MPD has the same technological characteristics as a previously cleared predicate device (K112191).
    • Nonclinical Testing: Highlighting "New in vivo testing" performed to demonstrate compatibility with NPWT.
    • Substantial Equivalence: Asserting equivalence based on intended use, device description, product technical/material characteristics, and performance characteristics compared to predicate devices.

    Given this, I can only extract information relevant to the study mentioned, which is "New in vivo testing" for NPWT compatibility, and the general basis for regulatory acceptance.

    Here's the breakdown based on the provided text:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The document does not explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria or detailed performance metrics in the format you requested (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, or specific numerical targets). The acceptance is based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices and showing compatibility with NPWT.

    Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
    Substantial equivalence to predicate devicesSentrex BioSponge MPD is considered "as safe and as effective, with substantially equivalent performance to the predicate devices" based on intended use, device description, product technical/material characteristics, and performance characteristics.
    Compatibility with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT)"New in vivo testing has been performed ... to demonstrate that the Sentrex BioSponge MPD may be used in conjunction with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT)." "In vivo data has shown that the Sentrex BioSponge MPD may be used in conjunction with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT)."

    2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

    The document mentions "New in vivo testing" but does not specify the sample size for this testing or the provenance of the data (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective).

    3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth and Qualifications

    Not applicable. This type of information is generally relevant for AI/ML device studies where ground truth is established by human experts interpreting data. The testing mentioned in this document is "in vivo," implying biological or animal studies, not expert interpretation of image or other clinical data.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    Not applicable for this type of in vivo testing.

    5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

    No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is specifically for evaluating the impact of AI assistance on human readers, which is not the focus of this device approval. The device is a wound dressing, not an AI diagnostic tool.

    6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance

    Not applicable. The Sentrex BioSponge MPD is a physical wound dressing, not an algorithm.

    7. Type of Ground Truth Used

    For the "new in vivo testing" demonstrating compatibility with NPWT, the "ground truth" would be biological outcomes observed in the in vivo model (likely animal studies, though not explicitly stated) related to wound healing characteristics and successful use with NPWT.

    8. Sample Size for the Training Set

    Not applicable. This device is a physical product and does not involve AI/ML models that require training sets.

The Sentrex Wound Dressing may be moistened with saline in accordance with physician recommendation.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes the Sentrex BioSponge Wound Dressing and its 510(k) premarket application. However, it does not include detailed information regarding specific acceptance criteria, a scientific study proving the device meets those criteria, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert qualifications, or adjudication methods in the manner typically found in a clinical study report for an AI/device performance evaluation.

    The submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices based on intended use, technical/material characteristics, and performance. The performance information provided is primarily related to non-clinical testing.

    Therefore, many of the requested details cannot be extracted from the given document as they are not present.

    Here's an analysis of the information that can be extracted or inferred:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The document does not explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria for device performance in the context of a clinical study or a table showcasing performance against such criteria. The "performance" mentioned is primarily in relation to biocompatibility, local tissue response, and bacterial inhibition, which are non-clinical evaluations for safety and basic function, not efficacy in wound healing against specific quantitative targets.

    The statement: "Numerous studies including, biocompatibility testing, local tissue response testing, and bacterial inhibition (AATCC Test Method 100, Microbial Strike-Through Test, and Kirby-Bauer Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test performed with the naïve Sentrex BioSponge and the Sentrex BioSponge with antibiotics) testing demonstrate the performance of the Sentrex BioSponge Wound Dressing" refers to passing specific non-clinical tests.

    Acceptance Criteria CategoryReported Device Performance (as described)
    BiocompatibilityStudies performed demonstrate performance. (Implies meeting established standards for biocompatibility)
    Local Tissue ResponseStudies performed demonstrate performance. (Implies acceptable tissue interaction)
    Bacterial InhibitionStudies performed using AATCC Test Method 100, Microbial Strike-Through Test, and Kirby-Bauer Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test demonstrate performance with both naive and antibiotic-treated BioSponge. (Implies effective bacterial inhibition)
    Moisture RetentionRetains more moisture than standard gauze, providing a moist environment to support wound healing. (Comparative claim to standard gauze)

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

    Not specified for any clinical performance evaluation. The "numerous studies" mentioned are non-clinical, so "test set" in the context of patient data (which would imply provenance) is not applicable or provided.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

    Not applicable/Not specified. The document does not describe a clinical study involving human assessment of device performance against a ground truth.

    4. Adjudication method for the test set

    Not applicable/Not specified.

    5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

    Not applicable. This device is a wound dressing, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool for human readers/clinicians, so an MRMC study comparing human performance with and without AI assistance is irrelevant to this submission.

    6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

    Not applicable. This is a physical wound dressing, not an algorithm.

    7. The type of ground truth used

    The ground truth for the non-clinical performance tests would be defined by the specific test methods used (e.g., AATCC 100 for bacterial inhibition, ISO standards for biocompatibility). For example, "ground truth" for bacterial inhibition would be the quantitative reduction in bacterial count as measured by laboratory methods. There is no mention of clinical ground truth (e.g., pathology, outcomes data) in the context of device efficacy demonstration for this 510(k).

    8. The sample size for the training set

    Not applicable/Not specified. No algorithms or AI are described.

    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

    Not applicable/Not specified. No algorithms or AI are described.


    Summary of what the document does indicate about how the device meets requirements:

    The Sentrex BioSponge Wound Dressing secured 510(k) clearance by demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices (K071552, K080010, K092552). This means the FDA determined it is as safe and effective as the predicates, not that it met novel, pre-defined quantitative performance criteria in a clinical trial.

    The "performance" demonstration relies on:

    • Non-clinical testing: Biocompatibility, local tissue response, and bacterial inhibition (using AATCC 100, Microbial Strike-Through, and Kirby-Bauer methods) studies were conducted. These studies "demonstrate the performance" of the device, implying they met the relevant standards for these specific tests.
