## Intended Use

IPM Wound Gel Bio serves to maintain a moist wound environment. The maintenance of a moist wound environment is widely recognized to positively contribute to wound healing process. IPM Wound Gel Bio also helps to relieve dry waxy skin irritations associated with dry skin conditions.

## Device Story

IPM Wound Gel Bio is a clear, viscous, aqueous gel containing 2.5% sodium hyaluronate derived from bacterial fermentation. It functions as a topical dressing to maintain a moist wound environment, which supports the natural wound healing process. The gel is supplied in 10g tubes for both over-the-counter (OTC) use by patients for minor skin conditions and prescription (Rx) use by healthcare professionals for the management of various exudating wounds and second-degree burns. By providing a moist interface, the device aids in wound management and skin irritation relief. No complex electronics, software, or active sensing components are involved; the device acts as a passive physical barrier/dressing.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Biocompatibility evaluations included Cytotoxicity, Modified ISO Acute Reactivity in Rabbits, ISO Acute Systemic Toxicity in Mouse, In Vitro Hemolysis, and ISO Sensitization. All tests met ISO 10993 and USP <10317> requirements. Effectiveness was supported by historical data from the predicate device, including a histological study in porcine models demonstrating efficacy on partial-thickness wound healing.

## Technological Characteristics

Clear, viscous, aqueous gel. Composition: 2.5% sodium hyaluronate (bacterial fermentation), 1% hydroxyethyl cellulose, 0.2% methylparaben, 3% polyethylene glycol, ~93% purified water. Passive dressing; no energy source or connectivity. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993 and USP <10317>.

#### Device Information:

Proprietary name of device: IPM Wound Gel Bio

Generic/classification name: Dressing, Wound and Burn, Hydrogel W/Drug and/or Biologic

Product code (classification): Product Code MGQ; Unclassified

#### Legally Marketed Predicate Devices:

Bionect® Hydrogel (K984413) L.A.M. IPM Wound Gel (K020325)- L.A.M. IPM Wound Gel (K020325); April 15, 2002

#### Device Description:

IPM Wound Gel Bio is a clear viscous, odoriess, aqueous gel, composed principally of sodium hyaluronate, a derivative salt of Hyaluronic acid. The proportion of sodium hyaluronate "w/w" in the formulation is 2.5%.

Hyaluronic acid is a molecule which is normally found in various parts of the body. Hyaluronic acid is an extracellular matrix component of human skin. The Hyaluronic acid used in IPM Wound Gel Bio is derived from a synthetic source, more specifically from a bacterial fermentation process. IPM Wound Gel Bio serves to maintain a moist wound environment. The maintenance of a moist wound environment is widely recognized to positively contribute to wound healing process.

Other ingredients in IPM Wound Gel Bio are as follows: hydroxyethyl cellulose (1%), methylparaben (0.2%), as well as polyethylene glycol (3%) and purified water, USP (approx. 93%).

{1}------------------------------------------------

IPM Wound Gel Bio is presented in carton boxes with 4 laminated tubes of 10g (0.35oz).

IPM Wound Gel Bio has similar specifications of L.A.M. IPM Wound Gel, with exception to its source of Hyaluronic acid.

#### Intended Use:

IPM Wound Gel Bio serves to maintain a moist wound environment. The maintenance of a moist wound environment is widely recognized to positively contribute to wound healing process. IPM Wound Gel Bio also helps to relieve dry waxy skin irritations associated with dry skin conditions.

#### Indications for Use:

#### "OTC":

L.A.M. IPM Wound Gel/IPM Derm Gel is indicated for management of minor burns (1ª degree burns), minor abrasions, minor cuts and helps to relieve dry waxy skin irritations associated with dry skin conditions.

#### Rx:

### Under the supervision of a health care professional;

· IPM Wound Gel Bio is indicated for management of exudating wounds such as leg ulcers, diabetic ulcers, surqical wounds (post-operative incisions and donor sites), mechanically or surgically debrided wounds, and for second degree burns.

#### Device Technological Characteristics:

IPM Wound Gel Bio is a clear viscous, odorless, aqueous gel. Hyaluronic acid is an extracellular matrix component of human skin. The Hyaluronic acid used in IPM Wound Gel Bio is derived from a synthetic source, more specifically from a bacterial fermentation process. IPM Wound Gel Bio serves to maintain a moist wound environment. The maintenance of a moist wound environment is widely recognized to positively contribute to wound healing process.

Products for topical use have their safety established through biocompatibility tests. The biocompatibility test performed for L.A.M. IPM Wound Gel, included reports of Cytotoxicity Study, Modifiled ISO Accute Reactivity in Rabbits, ISO Accute Systemic Toxicity in Mouse, In Vitro Hemolysis and ISO Sensitization. All of them meet the requirements of the ISO 10993 and USP <10317> and resulted under the anticipated specifications. The Histological Study in Porcine is another study that demonstrated the effectiveness of L.A.M. IPM Wound Gel on partial thickness wound healing in porcine.

Bio fermented HA passed biocompatibility evaluations and thus demonstrated substantial equivalence to the predicate device in this respect, i.e., biocompatibility.

#### Comparison with Predicate Device:

IPM Wound Gel Bio is similar in technological characteristics and indications to the predicates.

Considering that the only difference is the source of HA and that proposed indications are similar to already approved to the predicates indicated by Glyco, it is fair to understand that quality, safety and effectiveness are demonstrated and are comparable to the predicates.

Dear Mr. Drizen:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set
