#### 6. TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The Derma Sciences Honey Primary Wound Dressing into the market is essentially identical to the parent API-MED Active Manuka Honey Wound Dressings subject of K0453095. The differences between the Derma Sciences Medihoney Primary Dressings with Active Manuka Honey and the predicate device are limited to a slight formulation change, the addition of an optional adhesive backing and a slight indication change.

The technological characteristics of the Derma Sciences Medihoney Primary Dressings with Active Manuka Honey and the parent API-MED Active Manuka Honey Wound Dressings are substantially equivalent in that they are all dressings suitable for use on pressure sores, leg ulcers, post-operative wounds, superficial wounds and abrasions.

The modifications made to the API-MED Active Manuka Honey Dressings to produce the Derma Sciences Medihoney Primary Dressings with Active Manuka Honey are limited to a slight change in formulation. The proposed Honey Primary Wound Dresings are comprised of 80% w/w of Active Manuka Honey and 20% hydrocolloidal gelling agents and the parent API-MED Active Manuka Honey Dressings are comprised of 95% Active Manuka Honey and 5% calcium alginate. This slight change in formulation simply provides the user with a wider variety of honey dressings and does not represent a significant change in technological characteristics of the Medihoney Primary Dressings with Active Manuka Honey. The only differences between the Derma Sciences Medihoney Primary Dressings with

{2}------------------------------------------------

K0729 56 page 3/3

Active Manuka Honey and the predicate devices include slightly different dressing composition which are minor and do not affect the safety and effectiveness of the device.

#### 7. PERFORMANCE TESTING

Biocompatibility testing performed to support the formulation change for the modified dressings demonstrates that the Medihoney Primary Dressings with Active Manuka Honey are safe for their intended use. Cytotoxicity, sensitization, and irritation testing was performed successfully using the Derma Sciences Wound Dressings.
