Intended Use
The entrotech life sciences inc. ChloraDerm™ Antimicrobial Transparent Thin Film Dressings are intended to cover and protect a wound caused by percutaneous medical devices such as drains, chest tubes, orthopedic pins, fixtures and wires. ChloraDerm™ may also be used to cover and secure primary dressings. ChloraDerm™ inhibits microbial growth within the dressing and prevents external contamination.
Device Story
ChloraDerm is a single-use, transparent, thin polyurethane film dressing coated with an acrylic-based pressure-sensitive adhesive containing chlorhexidine. It is applied to the skin surface to cover and protect percutaneous medical device sites (e.g., drains, pins) or to secure primary dressings. The device acts as a physical barrier to prevent external contamination and utilizes the incorporated chlorhexidine to inhibit microbial growth within the dressing. It is intended for use for up to 7 days. The dressing features a framed delivery system for application. It is used in clinical settings where percutaneous devices are present. The device benefits patients by providing a protective, antimicrobial environment for wound sites, potentially reducing the risk of infection associated with percutaneous access.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance testing included physical characteristics (Water Vapor Transmission Rate, flammability, synthetic blood/viral penetration, tear/tensile strength, adhesion) and antimicrobial efficacy (Zone of Inhibition, spectrum, in vitro kill time). Results demonstrated ChloraDerm met all specifications and performed equivalently to predicate devices. Analytical testing confirmed no detectable p-chloroaniline (PCA) content. Biocompatibility, shelf life, packaging, and sterilization validation were also performed.
Technological Characteristics
Polyurethane film dressing with acrylic-based pressure-sensitive adhesive containing chlorhexidine. Framed delivery system. Dimensions vary by part number. Sterilized via gamma radiation. Single-use, 7-day wear duration. Transparent for site visibility.
Indications for Use
Indicated for covering and protecting wounds caused by percutaneous medical devices (drains, chest tubes, orthopedic pins, fixtures, wires) and securing primary dressings in patients requiring such wound management.

### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
The indications for use of the ChloraDerm is identical to that of the Covalon SurgiClear predicate device. All three devices are intended to cover and protect wounds caused by percutaneous medical devices and are also to be used as a secondary dressing to cover and secure a primary dressing.
The ChloraDerm is similar to the Tegaderm in its physical performance and to the SurgiClear in its antimicrobial efficacy. Available performance data support the determination of substantial equivalence in terms of both device physical performance and antimicrobial efficacy and confirmed that any differences in the technological characteristics between the ChloraDerm and the predicate devices do not raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness. Thus, the ChloraDerm is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
# TESTING IN SUPPORT OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE DETERMINATION
All necessary performance testing including head comparison testing with the predicate devices was conducted on the ChloraDerm to support a determination of substantial equivalence to the predicate devices. The following table lists the non-clinical testing performed and the results for each test.
| Test Type | Test Description | Results |
|---------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Physical<br>Performance | Water Vapor Transmission Rate<br>Flammability<br>Synthetic Blood Penetration<br>Viral Penetration<br>Tear Resistance<br>Tensile Elongation<br>Recovery/Elongation to Break<br>Primary Release<br>Peel Adhesion/Shear Adhesion | The ChloraDerm passed all functional testing and<br>met all product specification requirements in<br>addition to demonstrating equivalent performance to<br>that of the predicate device. |
| Antimicrobial<br>Efficacy | Zone of Inhibition/Activity<br>Spectrum<br>In vitro Kill Time | The ChloraDerm demonstrated that it had adequate<br>antimicrobial activity that was equivalent to that of<br>the predicate device. |
| Analytical | p-Chloroaniline (PCA) Content | The test results from zero-time and accelerated aged<br>samples demonstrated that no detectable levels of<br>p-chloroaniline were observed in the ChloraDerm.<br>However, p-chloroaniline was detected in all of the<br>Covalon SurgiClear samples evaluated |
In addition to the above performance testing, entrotech conducted Biocompatibility, Shelf life, Packaging and Sterilization Validation testing on the ChloraDerm.
The collective results of the performance testing demonstrate that the materials chosen, manufacturing processes, and design of the ChloraDerm meet the established specifications necessary for consistent performance during its intended use. In addition, the collective bench testing demonstrates that the ChloraDerm does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness when compared to the predicate devices.

# CONCLUSION
The entrotech life sciences inc. ChloraDerm is substantially equivalent to the Covalon SurgiClear and 3M Tegaderm dressings. The indications for use of the ChloraDerm is identical to that of the Covalon SurgiClear predicate device. The product performance testing demonstrated that ChloraDerm is as safe, as effective and performs as well as the predicate devices in terms of intended use, safety and technological characteristics, and patient populations. The key difference between the devices is the presence and/or choice of antimicrobial agent that is incorporated into the adhesive. The difference in antimicrobial agent between the subject device and the SurgiClear predicate device raises no issue of safety and effectiveness. Additionally, the difference in physical performance between the subject device and the 3M Tegaderm product raises no issues of safety and effectiveness. The information contained in this 510(k) premarket notification demonstrates the substantial equivalence of the ChloraDerm to the SurgiClear and to the Tegaderm.
