RENASYS™-WF White Foam NPWT Dressing for use as a wound filler in conjunction with the RENASYS Touch or GO Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System and compatible components.
The provided FDA 510(k) Premarket Notification is for a medical device (RENASYS™-WF White Foam NPWT Dressing) and primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than presenting a study to meet explicit quantitative performance acceptance criteria as might be seen for an AI/ML device.
Here's an analysis based on the provided document, addressing the requested points where applicable:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not specify quantitative acceptance criteria in terms of performance metrics (like sensitivity, specificity, or accuracy) that an AI/ML device would typically have, because this is not an AI/ML device. Instead, the "acceptance criteria" are implied by the demonstration of substantial equivalence to a predicate device. The performance is assessed through non-clinical testing comparing the subject device to the predicate device in terms of physical characteristics, intended use, indications, contraindications, materials, sterility, and packaging.
Acceptance Criteria (Implied by Substantial Equivalence to Predicate) | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Intended Use Equivalence: Subject device has comparable intended use to the predicate. | Verdict: Yes - The subject device's intended use for open wounds is the same as the predicate device. Closed wounds are not listed for the subject device. Compatible NPWT systems are different (manufacturer specific). |
Indications for Use Equivalence: Subject device has comparable indications for use to the predicate. | Verdict: Yes - The indicated wound types for the subject device are the same as the predicate device, with the exception that the predicate specifically states "Venous insufficiency ulcers," which is not included for the subject device to align with compatible RENASYS devices. |
Contraindications Equivalence: Subject device has comparable contraindications to the predicate. | Verdict: Yes - The subject device contains the same contraindications as the predicate device for open wounds. |
Sterility: Subject device maintains same sterility method as predicate. | Verdict: Yes - Sterilized by Gamma Irradiation (same as predicate). |
Packaging: Subject device has comparable packaging to the predicate. | Verdict: Yes - Polyethylene inner and Aluminum foil outer pouch (same as predicate). |
Materials: Subject device uses comparable materials to the predicate. | Verdict: Yes - PVA Foam, moistened with water (same as predicate). |
Status: Subject device has the same prescription status as predicate. | Verdict: Yes - Rx Only (same as predicate). |
Environment of Use: Subject device is suitable for comparable environments of use as predicate. | Verdict: Yes - Clinical and Home Environments (same as predicate). |
Physical Composition & Dimensions: Subject device has comparable physical composition and dimensions. | Verdict: Yes - Both are made of Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) foam, moistened with water, sterilized by gamma irradiation, and share the same dimensions (7.5 X 10 X 1 cm and 15 X 10 X 1 cm). |
Non-clinical Performance: Subject device performs as intended in challenge conditions and comparably to the predicate in wound model testing. | Reported: Wound model testing in challenge conditions using compatible components; Comparative wound model testing between the subject and predicate device; Testing in accordance with relevant parts of ISO 10993. Conclusion: Testing indicates the subject device performs as intended and on an equivalence basis with the predicate device. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
This information is not provided in the document. The document refers to "wound model testing in challenge conditions" and "comparative wound model testing," which suggests non-clinical bench testing rather than human subject data. Therefore, concepts like sample size for a test set (in the context of patient data) and data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) are not applicable or detailed here.
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)
This is not applicable as the study involved non-clinical wound model testing, not expert-adjudicated patient data.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
This is not applicable for the same reason as point 3.
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
This is not applicable as the device is a medical dressing, not an AI/ML diagnostic tool involving human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
This is not applicable as the device is a medical dressing, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
For the non-clinical testing, the "ground truth" would be established by the defined parameters and expected outcomes of the wound models, adherence to ISO standards (e.g., ISO 10993 for biocompatibility), and direct comparison of physical and functional properties against the predicate device. This is more akin to engineering and material performance standards than clinical ground truth obtained from patients.
8. The sample size for the training set
This is not applicable as the device is not an AI/ML algorithm requiring a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This is not applicable as the device is not an AI/ML algorithm requiring a training set.

The device removes exudate from the wound site(s) to a disposable container, which may promote wound healing via removal of fluids, including irrigation of body fluids, wound exudates and infectious materials.
RENASYS EDGE can be operated by either a mains power supply or internal battery. The RENASYS EDGE device is compatible with Smith & Nephew RENASYS Dressing Kits.
The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for the RENASYS EDGE device, a negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) system. Based on the document, here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study performed:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not explicitly present a table of acceptance criteria with reported device performance in a quantitative manner as typically seen for diagnostic devices. Instead, it lists various verification activities conducted to demonstrate the overall system performance and substantial equivalence to a predicate device.
The "acceptance criteria" here are implicitly linked to compliance with relevant medical device standards and the successful completion of specific types of testing to ensure the device performs as intended and is safe and effective when compared to the predicate device.
Acceptance Criteria (Implicit) | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Electrical Safety (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-11) | Successful completion of electrical safety testing per IEC 60601-1 (general medical electrical equipment) and IEC 60601-1-11 (for home healthcare environment). |

- Exudate Management: Ability to remove fluids, wound exudate, and infectious materials.
- Therapeutic Pressure Setting: Ability to maintain negative pressure within the 25-200mmHg range.
- Alarm Functionality: Proper functioning of alarms to notify users of therapy loss.
- Auto-restart Function: Effective re-initiation of therapy after pause. |
| Software Verification | Successful completion of software verification testing. |
| Substantial Equivalence | Demonstrated through evaluation of indications for use, principle of operation, materials, technology, product specifications, and energy requirements, alongside performance testing, software verification, EMC, and electrical safety testing. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
The document explicitly states: "No clinical data were provided to support the demonstration of substantial equivalence."
Therefore, there is no sample size for a test set of patients, nor is there any provenance information such as country of origin or retrospective/prospective nature, as no human clinical studies were performed. The testing conducted was entirely non-clinical.
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. Since no clinical data was provided and no human test set was used, there were no experts establishing ground truth for a clinical test set. The validation was based on engineering and performance criteria against standards.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable, as no clinical test set requiring adjudication was used.
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. The RENASYS EDGE device is a physical medical device (NPWT pump), not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool for human readers. Therefore, an MRMC study is not relevant to its evaluation.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This is not an algorithm-only device. The evaluation focused on the physical device's performance characteristics.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
The "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests would have been the engineering specifications and established performance parameters defined by the manufacturer and relevant international medical device standards (e.g., specific negative pressure range, exudate removal rates, alarm trigger conditions, electrical safety limits, EMC limits). Compliance with these predefined technical criteria constituted the "ground truth."
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This is a medical device, not an AI model that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable, as there was no training set for an AI model.

- Flaps and grafts (only in one wound configuration)
- Open abdomen (only in one wound configuration & only with RENASYS TOUCH and RENASYS AB Abdominal Kit)
- Chronic .
- . Acute
- . Traumatic
- . Sub-Acute and dehisced wounds
- . Ulcers (such as pressure or diabetic)
- Partial-thickness burns
The RENASYS TOUCH is intended for use in acute care settings and other professional healthcare environments where product use is conducted by or under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.
When the RENASYS Y-Connector is used with the RENASYS AB Abdominal Kit with Soft Port (only in one wound configuration), it is indicated for temporary bridging of abdominal wall openings where is not possible and/or repeat abdominal entries are necessary. It is intended to be used in open abdominal wounds with exposed viscera, including but not limited to abdominal compartment syndrome. The use of RENASYS Abdominal Kit with Soft Port is intended for use in acute hospital care settings (trauma, general and plastic surgery wards) and should ideally be applied in the operating theatre.
The RENASYS Y-connector is an accessory device to the previously cleared RENASYS TOUCH (K153209) pump for use on one wound only. It is only intended to be used in conjunction with RENASYS Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) system which is indicated for patients who would benefit from a suction pump (Negative Pressure Wound Therapy), as it may promote wound healing via removal of fluids, including irrigation and body fluids, wound exudates and infectious materials.
The RENASYS Y-Connector can be used to connect one or two wounds of the same etiologies through two RENASYS Soft Ports to a single pump. The Y-Connector is constructed of PVC tubing and is compatible with Smith & Nephew RENASYS Foam, RENASYS Gauze and RENASYS Abdominal dressing kits with Soft Port (it can only be used on one wound with the RENASYS Abdominal dressing kits and only with RENASYS TOUCH).
The provided text describes a 510(k) summary for the RENASYS Y-Connector, demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than an AI/ML powered medical device. Therefore, many of the typical acceptance criteria and study components usually associated with AI/ML devices (such as MRMC studies, training/test sets, expert adjudication for ground truth, and specific performance metrics like sensitivity/specificity/AUC) are not applicable or detailed in this submission.
However, I can extract the acceptance criteria and study information related to the performance of the negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) system with the new Y-Connector, which are based on non-clinical bench testing.
Here's the information parsed from the document:
1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance (Test Results) |
---|---|
Simulated Cavity Wound Model Compatibility Testing: Maintain negative pressure within test requirements at the simulated wound bed for a minimum of 95% of the test duration for all test configurations. | The RENASYS NPWT system was able to maintain negative pressure within the test requirements at the simulated wound bed for a minimum of 95% of the test duration for all test configurations. The Y-Connector did not impact system performance. |
Simulated Cavity Wound Model Testing using Intermittent Therapy Mode: Maintain negative pressure within test requirements at the simulated wound bed for a minimum of 95% of the test duration for all test configurations when in intermittent therapy mode. | The RENASYS NPWT system was able to maintain negative pressure within the test requirements at the simulated wound bed for a minimum of 95% of the test duration for all test configurations when in intermittent therapy mode. The Y-Connector did not impact system performance. |
Simulated Cavity Wound Model Testing using Viscous Simulated Wound Fluid: Maintain negative pressure within test requirements at the simulated wound bed for a minimum of 95% of the test duration for all test configurations when using viscous simulated wound fluid. | The RENASYS NPWT system was able to maintain negative pressure within the test requirements at the simulated wound bed for a minimum of 95% of the test duration for all test configurations when using viscous simulated wound fluid. The Y-Connector did not impact system performance. |
RENASYS NPWT Pump Battery Characterisation Testing: Maintain negative pressure within test requirements at the simulated wound bed for a minimum of 95% of the test duration for all test configurations when in continuous therapy mode. | The RENASYS NPWT system was able to maintain negative pressure within the test requirements at the simulated wound bed for a minimum of 95% of the test duration for all test configurations when in continuous therapy mode. The Y-Connector did not impact the pump batteries or NPWT system performance. |
Alarm Characterisation Testing: Leak and blockage alarms function as intended as defined within the acceptance criteria. | Both the leak and blockage alarms functioned as intended as defined within the acceptance criteria. |
RENASYS Y-Connector Robustness Testing: Tensile strength testing (acceptance criteria not explicitly quantified, but generally refers to meeting a specified standard). | None of the RENASYS Y-Connector units came apart when pull forces were applied. All units tested met the acceptance criteria in accordance with ISO 8536-4, Section 6.3 Tensile Strength. |
2. Sample Size and Data Provenance:
- Sample Size for Test Set: The document does not specify the exact sample size (number of units/tests) for each bench test. It uses phrases like "for all test configurations," "all units tested," and "none of the RENASYS Y-Connector units."
- Data Provenance: The studies were non-clinical bench tests conducted to support regulatory submission. The country of origin for the data is not explicitly stated, but the submitter's address is "Smith & Nephew Medical Limited, Hull, United Kingdom," suggesting the tests were likely conducted or overseen by them. The studies are by nature prospective, as they were specifically designed and executed for this submission.
3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth:
- This section is not applicable for this type of device and study. The "ground truth" for these bench tests is defined by mechanical measurements and engineering standards (e.g., maintaining negative pressure, alarm functionality, tensile strength according to ISO standards), not by human expert interpretation or consensus as would be the case for image-based AI/ML diagnostic devices.
4. Adjudication Method:
- Not applicable for these bench tests. Adjudication is relevant for subjective assessments, typically found in clinical studies involving multiple human readers or interpretations.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:
- No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not performed. This type of study is typically done for diagnostic AI devices where human reader performance (e.g., radiologists, pathologists) with and without AI assistance is compared. The RENASYS Y-Connector is a physical accessory to an NPWT system, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance:
- Not applicable. There is no "algorithm" in the sense of an AI model being evaluated. The performance evaluated is that of the physical device and its interaction with the NPWT system.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used:
- The ground truth metrics are based on pre-defined engineering and performance specifications and international standards (e.g., ISO 8536-4 for tensile strength). For example, "maintaining negative pressure within the test requirements" and "alarms functioned as intended." This is a form of objective, quantitative ground truth.
8. Sample Size for Training Set:
- Not applicable. This submission does not describe an AI/ML device that requires a training set. The device is a physical component, and its design and manufacturing are informed by engineering principles, not machine learning training data.
9. How Ground Truth for Training Set was Established:
- Not applicable. As there is no training set for an AI/ML model, the concept of establishing ground truth for it does not apply.

RENASYS GO
The RENASYS GO is indicated for patients who would benefit from a suction device (negative pressure wound therapy) as it may promote wound healing via removal of fluids, including irrigation and body fluids, wound exudates and infectious materials.
Appropriate wound types include:
- · Chronic
- · Acute
- · Traumatic
- · Sub-acute and dehisced wounds
- · Ulcers (such as pressure or diabetic)
- · Partial-thickness burns
- · Flaps and grafts
The RENASYS GO NPWT device is a modification to predicate device K088375. It is a lightweight suction pump device intended for wound management via application of continuous or intermittent negative pressure wound therapy to the wound for removal of fluids, including wound exudates, irrigation fluids, and infectious materials. The RENASYS GO NPWT device is designed to deliver negative pressure wound therapy to a closed environment over a wound in order to drain exudates from the wound site to help promote wound healing.
The closed environment over the wound is created by applying a sterile foam or gauze wound dressing to the wound site and connecting the sealed wound to the suction pump via a tube that connects to the disposable canister. The suction pump delivers negative pressure wound therapy and removes the exudates from the wound site to the disposable canister.
The device provides negative pressure wound therapy to the wound at a range of pressure settings between 40-200mmHg. The device can operate either by a mains power supply or internal battery.
RENASYS GO uses an integral waste canister that is supplied non-sterile, single-use with a volume capacity of 300ml or 750ml. The waste canister is attached to the pump device by two clips on either side of the canister. The canister is permanently sealed to minimize the potential of users coming into contact with exudates. Safety features include a 1.0 micron filter in the top of the canister to resist fluid penetration into the device, as well as a 0.2 micron bacterial filter to prevent the passage of airborne bacteria. Each sealed canister contains a solidifier which acts as a gelling agent to the exudate.
A tube is permanently attached to the bottom of the waste canister through an inlet port. A connector attached to the distal end of the canister tube attaches to the corresponding tubing included in each Smith & Nephew NPWT dressing kit.
The RENASYS GO device is compatible with RENASYS Foam and Gauze dressing kits with Soft Port which were cleared under 510(k) K142979.
The provided text describes modifications to an existing negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) device, the RENASYS GO, and the testing conducted to demonstrate its substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K083375). As this is a 510(k) submission, the focus is on substantial equivalence rather than establishing novel acceptance criteria for a new device. Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" here largely refer to demonstrating that the modified device performs comparably to the predicate and meets relevant safety and performance standards.
Here's an analysis based on your request, understanding that "acceptance criteria" are implied by the scope of a 510(k) modification rather than explicitly listed as performance targets in the same way a new device might have:

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document describes bench testing ("Non-Clinical Tests (Bench)") and verification testing. It does not specify sample sizes (e.g., number of devices tested for each condition). The testing appears to be conducted by the manufacturer, Smith & Nephew, Inc., and therefore the "data provenance" would be internal company testing. There is no mention of external data sources or clinical data.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
N/A. This document pertains to bench and verification testing for a device modification, demonstrating substantial equivalence. The "ground truth" for these tests relates to engineering specifications and performance against known standards or the predicate device, not expert interpretation of medical images or patient outcomes.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
N/A. As the testing mentioned is bench and verification testing against engineering specifications and standards, there is no mention or need for a medical expert adjudication method like 2+1 or 3+1.
5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done
No. The document explicitly states that "Non-Clinical Tests (Bench)" were performed. It does not describe any human reader studies or MRMC comparative effectiveness studies.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done
N/A. This device is a negative pressure wound therapy pump, not an AI/algorithm-based diagnostic or therapeutic device. The "performance" described is the functioning of the pump and its alarm systems, which is inherently standalone in its operation (i.e., the pump operates without continuous human "in-the-loop" interaction for its core function, though it is used by a human).
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for the tests described is primarily:
- Engineering specifications and design requirements: For aspects like pumping capacity, negative pressure range, O-ring durability, and performance in various conditions.
- Predicate device performance: To demonstrate equivalence in core functionalities.
- Regulatory and consensus standards: Such as IEC 60601 series for electrical safety, usability, and alarm systems, and ISO standards for risk management.
- Simulated wound fluid chemistry: For testing alarm functionality.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
N/A. This document describes a medical device (a pump) and its modifications, not a machine learning or AI algorithm that requires a training set. The "software modifications" mentioned relate to alarm functionality and compliance with standards, implying traditional software engineering and testing, not AI model training.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
N/A. See point 8.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes for the "transit testing" or "stability testing" or provide details on the data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective). These are non-clinical (bench) tests, not typically subject to the same patient data collection requirements.
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)
This information is not applicable. The tests performed are non-clinical bench tests (transit testing, stability testing), which do not involve expert interpretation or ground truth establishment in the way clinical studies with expert reviewers would.
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
This information is not applicable as there are no expert adjudications in these non-clinical bench tests.
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
There was no MRMC comparative effectiveness study. This document describes the substantial equivalence of a medical device (wound dressing kit), not an AI-powered diagnostic tool.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This information is not applicable. The device is a physical wound dressing kit, not an algorithm or AI system.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
For the non-clinical tests described:
- Transit testing: The "ground truth" for package seal integrity would be based on validated physical testing methods and established criteria for package integrity.
- Stability testing: The "ground truth" for shelf life and performance specifications would be based on validated laboratory testing methods to assess material degradation, sterilization maintenance, and functional performance over time.
8. The sample size for the training set
