DermaTherapy Bed Linens
Precision Fabrics Group, Inc.
Hospital clinical records; Facility-acquired pressure ulcer incidence data
The studies were used to demonstrate the performance of the DermaTherapy Bed Linens in reducing the incidence of facility-acquired pressure ulcers in various acute care hospital units compared to standard bedding controls.
Acute Care Clinical Studies (Studies 1-3); Retrospective/Observational clinical evaluation; Study Period: Since 2008
Patients 18 years of age and older in acute care settings (medical renal, urology, surgical ICU, non-surgical ICU, and telemetry units); Sample Size: 2,009 total subjects; Number of Sites: Multiple healthcare sites
Standard hospital bedding (Control group)
Incidence of facility-acquired pressure ulcers
Indications for Use
Bed linens made with DermaTherapy® fabrics are intended for use by patients 18 years of age and older in hospital settings who are susceptible to pressure ulcers. The DermaTherapy Bed Linens help to reduce the likelihood of patients developing pressure ulcers by reducing moisture, friction and shear on the patient's skin.
Device Story
DermaTherapy Bed Linens (pillow cases, flat sheets, fitted sheets, underpads) function as passive medical textiles to mitigate pressure ulcer risk. Fabric utilizes 100% continuous-filament polyester yarns with non-round cross-sections to create micro-channels for moisture wicking and rapid drying. Smooth surface minimizes skin irritation/abrasion. Static-dissipative polyester yarn (0.8% weight) added to reduce static during institutional laundering. Antimicrobial agent (quaternary ammonium compound) applied to fabric. Used in hospital settings; operated by clinical staff. Device provides physical barrier between patient skin and bed support surface; reduces moisture, friction, and shear. Clinical benefit: reduction in incidence of facility-acquired pressure ulcers.
Clinical Evidence
Three prospective clinical studies (n=2,009) conducted in acute care settings (renal, surgical ICU, telemetry/urology). Primary endpoint: incidence of facility-acquired pressure ulcers. Results showed consistent reduction in pressure ulcer incidence in DermaTherapy group vs. control: Study 1 (4.6% vs 12.3%, p=.01), Study 2 (0.0% vs 7.5%, p=.01), Study 3 (3.1% vs 11.5%, p<.001). No product-related adverse events reported.
Indicated for patients 18+ in hospital settings susceptible to pressure ulcers. Helps reduce likelihood of pressure ulcers by minimizing moisture, friction, and shear on skin.

#### Indications for Use:
Bed linens made with DermaTherapy fabrics are intended for use by patients 18 years of age and older in hospital settings who are susceptible to pressure ulcers. The DermaTherapy Bed Linens help to reduce the likelihood of patients developing pressure ulcers by reducing moisture, friction and shear on the patient's skin.

### Device Description
DermaTherapy uses a silk-like fabric to minimize moisture, friction, and shear between the skin and the bedsupport surface. Continuous-filament yarns woven into the silk-like synthetic DermaTherapy fabric provide a smooth surface, free of broken or discontinuous fibers. This enhanced smoothness helps minimize the potential for irritation and abrasion of sensitive skin.
DermaTherapy Bed Linens consists of pillow cases, top flat sheets, and underpads. The subject devices are made from DermaTherapy fabrics which are plain-weave constructions of 100% continuous-filament yarns. The polyester yarns have a non-round fiber cross-section to create micro-channels to facilitate moisture wicking and rapid drying. The yarns used in DermaTherapy fabrics are commercially available products, typically used in apparel.
The only technological difference in the fabric construction between the subject device and the predicate device is the addition of a secondary static-dissipative polyester yarn at 0.8% of the total fabric weight. The static-dissipative yarn is incorporated to reduce the potential for static electricity that may occur during institutional laundering processes. The company has made no other modifications to the fabric or the manufacturing process of turning the fabric into the final product.
# Substantial Equivalence
The DermaTherapy Bed Linens are substantially equivalent to the primary predicate device, Institutional Bedding made with DermaTherapy Fabrics (K061242). Both devices have intended use as mattress covers that protect the skin, and similar technological characteristics. The new indications for use do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness. The additional static-dissipative yarn does not affect the intended use or the device performance. Furthermore, bench testing demonstrated that the device met performance specifications, which support the new indications for use. Thus, the subject device is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate devices.
A summary of substantial equivalence between the subject, primary predicate, and reference devices are provided in Table 1 below.

| Performance Characteristics | Test Method / Standard |
|-----------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Geometric Roughness | The surface contour (geometric roughness) is determined using the Kawabata KES-FB4<br>Surface Tester. Measurements are made using a standard specimen size of 20 x 20 cm in<br>three replications. Using a calibrated surface probe, geometric roughness is measured in<br>microns. Higher values correspond to a geometrically rougher surface. |
| Fabric Wicking Rate - Warp & Fill | A determination of the rate at which a fabric wicks water, measured as the distance water<br>travels in five minutes. A 1" x 6" sample is marked and lowered into deionized water. The<br>wicking rate is calculated by determining the distance, measured in millimeters, water<br>rises along the sample fabric in a 5-minute period. |
| % Dry after 0 - 60 minutes | A determination of % moisture loss of a fabric until dryness, measured in 15-minute<br>intervals up to 60 minutes, whichever comes first. An 8"x10" fabric sample is tested at<br>intervals. The rate is calculated based upon the time it takes for the sample to return to its<br>original dry weight. |
| Coefficient of Friction | The surface properties of friction (resistance/drag) are determined using the Kawabata<br>KES-FB4 Surface Tester. Measurements are made using a standard specimen size of 20 x<br>20 cm in three replications. Using a calibrated friction probe, coefficient of friction (COF)<br>values of 0 to 1 are determined, with the higher COF value corresponding to higher<br>friction. |
Cytotoxicity, intracutaneous reactivity, and skin sensitization testing were conducted according to ISO 10993 consensus standards to evaluate the biocompatibility of the device at various points of its use life.
PFG conducted a leachability study to quantify and to analyze the antimicrobial agent leaching from the subject device and the predicate device. Test results demonstrated that the subject device exhibited substantially equivalent amount of antimicrobial agent leaching from the device. In addition, a risk assessment of the antimicrobial agent completely leaching from the product demonstrated that there is no safety risk to the patient.
# Clinical Data
To further demonstrate the substantial equivalence and performance of the device in reducing the likelihood of patients developing pressure ulcers, the company has conducted three studies since 2008 that included a total of 2,009 study subjects. A summary of the studies is provided in Table 3 below. Study subjects included patients 18 years of age and older in acute care setting at multiple healthcare sites including medical renal, urology, surgical intensive care, non-surgical intensive care, and telemetry units. Comparison of data between the study and control groups showed a consistent reduction in the incidence of facility-acquired pressure ulcers in a wide range of clinical settings and patient populations. No product-related adverse events or complications were reported over the entire study period.
| Study | Clinical Trials | Total Patients | Control | DermaTherapy | P |
|-------|--------------------------------------|----------------|---------|--------------|-------|
| 1. | Acute Care:<br>Medical Renal Unit | 307 | 12.3% | 4.6% | .01 |

# Conclusions
Precision Fabrics Group believes that DermaTherapy Bed Linens are substantially equivalent to the primary predicate device Institutional Bedding made with DermaTherapy fabrics (K061242). Both devices have the same intended use and similar indications for use. The only difference to the predicate device is the addition of static-dissipative polyester yarn. Bench testing has demonstrated substantially equivalent device performance and supports the expanded indications for use to reduce the formation of pressure ulcers. Therefore, the subject device is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate device.
Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
