- Sensitization Test (ISO 10993-10:2012). The test substance was non-sensitizing.
- Irritation Test (ISO 10993-10:2012). SPB Skin Emulsion was determined to be non-irritating.

As part of demonstrating safety and effectiveness of SPB Skin Emulsion and in showing substantial equivalence to the predicate devices that are subject to this 510(k) submission, BioTD, S.A. completed a number of tests. The SPB Skin Emulsion meets all the requirements for overall design and biocompatibility, which confirm that the outputs meets the design inputs and specifications. The SPB Skin Emulsion passed all testing stated above as shown by the acceptable results obtained.

#### 10. Clinical Performance Data

There are no new innovative aspects that have been introduced with this device. Clinical testing was performed only to establish substantial equivalence to the predicate device. Performance of SPB Skin Emulsion was compared that of the predicate MimyX™ Cream. A double-blind study was designed with a limited number of volunteers with acute contact dermatitis. Daily observations of redness and itching were recorded by trained personnel after exposure to a known allergen during routine work-related activities. SPB Skin Emulsion performed similarly to the predicate with no observable events of either redness or itching, and the placebo showing no positive effects. These types of devices, including the predicate, have been on the market for many years with a proven safety and efficacy for the use of the device. The non-clinical testing detailed in this submission supports the substantial equivalence of the device.

#### 11. Statement of Substantial Equivalence

By definition, a device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device when the device has the same intended use and the same technological characteristics as the previously cleared predicate device. Or the device has the same intended use and different technological characteristics that can be demonstrated that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, and that the new device does not raise different questions regarding its safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate device.

lt has been shown in this 510(k) submission that the differences between the SPB Skin Emulsion and the predicate device do not raise any questions regarding its safety and effectiveness. The SPB Skin Emulsion, as designed and manufactured, is determined to be substantially equivalent to the referenced predicate device.
