LUOFUCON® Extra Silver Alginate Dressing (Rx only)/LUOFUCON® Antibacterial Alginate Wound Dressing (OTC) is a sterile, single-use dressing composed of calcium alginate and silver antibacterial agent, which absorbs wound exudate and release silver
{4}------------------------------------------------
ions in the presence of wound fluid in the dressing. As wound exudate is absorbed, the alginate forms a gel, which assists in maintaining a moist environment for optimal wound healing, and allows intact removal.
The alginate material contains silver which inhibits bacterial growth within the dressing. Based on in vitro laboratory testing, the silver has been shown to protect the dressing against both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus pyogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE). And the silver protects the dressing from a broad spectrum of bacteria up to seven days.
All dressings are sterilized and sold after sterilization by radiation using conditions validated following ISO 11137-2:2013.

Table 5-1 Comparison of Intended Use, Design and Material
LUOFUCON® Extra Silver Alginate Dressing (Rx only)/LUOFUCON® Antibacterial Alginate Wound Dressing (OTC) and its predicate device (K120181) utilize silver as the antibacterial agent and utilize alginate pad for the exudates absorption and wound So, LUOFUCON® Extra management. Silver Dressing (Rx only)/LUOFUCON® Antibacterial Alginate Wound Dressing (OTC) and its predicate device are made from similar materials, utilize the same antibacterial mechanism, and have the same intended use.
All dressings are sterilized and sold after sterilization by radiation using conditions validated following ISO 11137-2:2013.
The following performance tests were conducted on LUOFUCON® Extra Silver Alginate Dressing (Rx only)/LUOFUCON® Antibacterial Alginate Wound Dressing (OTC) in comparison to the predicate:
- Free Swell Absorption Capacity ●
{6}------------------------------------------------
- Loss on Drying ●
- pH Value
- Silver content
- Antibacterial Activity
LUOFUCON® Extra Silver Alginate Dressing (Rx only)/LUOFUCON® Antibacterial Alginate Wound Dressing (OTC) raised no new safety concerns for biocompatibility. Assessment was carried out on the final device as per ISO 10993-1:2009 for a surface device; contacting breached or compromised skin for prolonged duration. The device has been demonstrated to safe for its intended use.
LUOFUCON® Extra Silver Alginate Dressing (Rx only)/LUOFUCON® Antibacterial Alginate Wound Dressing (OTC) was evaluated for:
- Cytotoxicity
- Sensitization
- Irritation
- Systemic toxicity
- Implantation
- Material-mediated pyrogenicity
Modified AATCC 100-2012 was used to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the subject device. The predicate device also chooses the AATCC 100 as the test method. The subject device achieves antibacterial duration for seven days while the predicate device achieves one day.
A porcine wound healing study was carried out to evaluate the silver cytotoxicity of subject device. The test results had shown that the silver does not cause cytotoxicity in the healing period or delay normal wound healing.
Therefore, the performance results are comparable to the predicate device when the dressings are used for antibacterial purpose for seven days. The product is safe and effective for its intended use.
#### Substantial Equivalent Statement
Based on the comparison of intended use, design, materials, performance, biocompatibility, and animal study, the subject device, LUOFUCON® Extra Silver Alginate Dressing (Rx only)/LUOFUCON® Antibacterial Alginate Wound Dressing (OTC), is determined to be Substantially Equivalent (SE) to the predicate device, LUOFUCON® Silver Alginate Dressing (Prescription Use)/ LUOFUCON® Antibacterial Alginate Dressing (OTC Use) (K120181), in respect of safety and effectiveness.
