Indications for Use
Catasyn OTC is indicated for the dressing and management of minor burns, minor cuts, minor lacerations, minor abrasions, and minor irritations of the skin. Catasyn RX may be used under the direction of a health care professional for the dressing and management of partial to full thickness dermal ulcers (pressure sores, venous stasis ulcers, arterial ulcers, diabetic ulcers), surgical wounds (post-operative incisions and donor sites) and superficial and partial thickness (second degree) burns.
Device Story
Catasyn Advanced Technology Wound Hydrogel is a non-sterile, preserved hydrogel dressing. It is composed of hypromellose, arginine-derivatized chitosan, betaine, and methylparaben. The device is supplied in LDPE tubes of various sizes. It is applied topically to wounds to provide a moist environment, which supports the natural wound healing process. It is intended for both over-the-counter use by patients for minor skin injuries and prescription use by healthcare professionals for more complex wounds, including dermal ulcers, surgical incisions, and second-degree burns. The device functions as a physical barrier and moisture-retaining dressing.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993-5 (cytotoxicity), ISO 10993-10 (sensitization and irritation), and ISO 10993-11 (acute systemic toxicity). Hemolysis testing performed per ASTM 756-13. All results were non-reactive/non-toxic. Preservative effectiveness tested per USP 51.
Technological Characteristics
Hydrogel dressing composed of hypromellose, arginine-derivatized chitosan, betaine, and methylparaben. Supplied in LDPE tubes. Non-sterile, preserved formulation. Provides moist wound environment. Biocompatibility tested per ISO 10993; hemolysis tested per ASTM 756-13.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with minor skin irritations, cuts, lacerations, abrasions, and burns (OTC use). Indicated for patients with partial to full thickness dermal ulcers (pressure, venous stasis, arterial, diabetic), surgical wounds, and superficial/partial thickness burns (Rx use).

Dear Shenda Baker:
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 of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

## Preservation
Catasyn was tested for it preservative effectiveness and meets the category 2 challenge by USP 51 immediately following production and at the 6-month shelf life test point. The product will continue to be challenged at 12,18, 24, 30, and 36 months testing.
### Shelf life
The first study of stability incorporated three lots of the device including each tube type and is schedule for 36 months. The current data for real time aging of the samples indicate the product meets its specification after 9 months.
## Comparison with predicate:
The candidate device, Catasyn, has the same intended use and substantially equivalent technological characteristics as the predicate device, Bionect Clear Hydrogel. Both the predicate and candidate device contain aqueous based viscous, highly hydrated, and lubricating gels. The gels are composed primarily of water with the addition of thickeners and moisturizers. Both gels are supplied non-sterile and contain preservatives to extend shelf life. Like the predicate device, Catasyn provides a moist environment for wound healing of skin wounds and burns.
