## Intended Use

For professional use, Procellera Composite Antibacterial Wound Dressing is intended for the management of wounds to provide a moist wound environment and is indicated for partial and full-thickness wounds such as pressure ulcers, venous ulcers, diabetic ulcers, first and second degree burns, surgical incisions, donor and recipient graft sites, etc. For over-the-counter use, Procellera Composite Antibacterial Wound Dressing is intended for the management of wounds to provide a moist wound environment and is indicated for superficial wounds such as minor cuts, scrapes, irritations, abrasions, blisters, etc.

## Device Story

Procellera Composite Antibacterial Wound Dressing is a multi-layer wound dressing; consists of a broad-spectrum antibacterial contact layer, polyester-based absorbent layer, and polyurethane semi-occlusive outer adhesive layer. Contact layer features elemental zinc and silver in a dot-matrix pattern on a polyester substrate; functions as a microcell battery. In presence of conductive medium (exudate, hydrogel, saline, water), device generates microcurrents at surface; silver and zinc preserve dressing and inhibit bacterial growth. Used in clinical or home settings; applied by healthcare professionals or patients. Dressing maintains moist wound environment; provides antibacterial barrier. Adjunct to local clinical protocols (sutures, staples, adhesives). Benefits include infection risk reduction and support of healing process.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993 (cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization, acute systemic toxicity, material-mediated pyrogenicity, subchronic toxicity, implantation). Antibacterial effectiveness demonstrated per AATCC TM 100.

## Technological Characteristics

Multi-layer dressing; polyester substrate with elemental silver/zinc dot-matrix pattern; polyester-based absorbent layer; polyurethane outer adhesive layer. Sensing/actuation: microcurrent generation via microcell battery principle in conductive media. Sterilization: gamma irradiation.

#### Intended Use

For professional use, Procellera Composite Antibacterial Wound Dressing is intended for the management of wounds to provide a moist wound environment and is indicated for partial and fullthickness wounds such as pressure ulcers, venous ulcers, first and second degree burns, surgical incisions, donor and recipient graft sites, etc.

For over-the-counter use, Procellera Composite Antibacterial Wound Dressing is intended for the management of wounds to provide a moist wound environment and is indicated for superficial wounds such as minor cuts, scrapes, irritations, abrasions, blisters, etc.

### Device Description

Procellera Composite Antibacterial Wound Dressing is a three-layer dressing comprising a broadspectrum antibacterial contact layer (Procellera), a polyester-based absorbent layer, and a polyurethane semi-occlusive outer adhesive layer to keep the dressing in place and help maintain a moist wound environment. The dressing is offered in various shapes and elbow/shoulder dressings are prescription use only, while the square, rectangular and round shaped dressings are for both prescription and over-the-counter use.

{4}------------------------------------------------

Embedded in the dressing are microcell batteries made of elemental zinc applied in a dot-matrix pattern to a polyester substrate. In the presence of a conductive medium such as wound exudate, water-based wound hydrogels, saline, or water, microcurrents are generated at the dressing surface due to its inherent design. Silver and zinc in the dressing help to preserve it and minimize or prevent the growth of bacteria within the dressing.

Procellera Composite Antibacterial Wound Dressing may be used with other common wound treatment products such as sutures, staples, liquid skin adhesives, or steri-strips as an adjunct to local clinical protocols.

### Technological Characteristics

Procellera Composite Antibacterial Wound Dressing is a multi-layer wound dressing with built-in polyester-based absorbent and polyurethane adhesive layers to keep it in place and help maintain a moist wound environment. The wound contact layer of the subject device is identical to the Procellera Antimicrobial Wound Dressing. Elemental silver and elemental zinc are bound to the surface of a polyester substrate in a well-characterized dot matrix pattern. In the presence of a conductive medium, such as wound exudate, water-based wound hydrogels, saline, or water, microcurrents are generated at the surface of the device, and this occurs because it is inherent to the design.

#### Safety and Performance Data

Procellera Composite Antibacterial Wound Dressing was tested in accordance with applicable parts of the ISO 10993: Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices standard and found to be biocompatible. Additional tests recommended by FDA guidance Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1 were also performed. Testing included: cytotoxicity, intracutaneous irritation, sensitization, acute systemic toxicity, material-mediated pyrogenicity, subchronic toxicity and implantation.

Procellera Composite Antibacterial Wound Dressing was tested per AATCC TM 100: Assessment of Antibacterial Finishes on Textile Materials and demonstrated broad-spectrum antibacterial effectiveness within the dressing.

#### Substantial Equivalence Discussion

The intended use, wound contact layer and antibacterial technology of Procellera Composite Antibacterial Wound Dressing are identical to the primary predicate single layer Procellera Antimicrobial Wound Dressing cleared under K160783 and its predecessors. The composite configuration with multiple functional layers is equivalent to the secondary predicate Silverlon Island Wound Dressing. The impact of the new materials in Procellera Composite Antibacterial Wound Dressing were evaluated through standardized test methods. The tests raised no new questions of safety or effectiveness. Key characteristics of the subject and predicate devices are compared in the table below. Procellera Composite Antibacterial Wound Dressing is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices.

| Indications<br>for Use (Rx) | Intended for the management of wounds to provide a moist wound environment and indicated for partial and full-thickness wounds such as pressure ulcers, venous ulcers, diabetic ulcers, first and second degree burns, surgical incisions, donor and recipient graft sites, etc. | Intended for the management of wounds to provide a moist wound environment and indicated for partial and full-thickness wounds such as pressure ulcers, venous ulcers, diabetic ulcers, first and second degree burns, surgical incisions, donor and recipient graft sites, etc. | Under the supervision of a healthcare professional Silverlon® Island Wound Dressings and Silverlon® Wound Pad Dressings are intended for up to 7 day use for wounds such as vascular access or peripheral IV sites, orthopedic external pin sites, wound drain sites, surgical wounds (donor and graft sites, incisions), and partial to full thickness dermal ulcers (stage I-IV pressure sores, venous stasis ulcers, arterial ulcers, diabetic ulcers). Silverlon® Island Wound Dressings and Silverlon® Wound Pad Dressings are indicated for the management of infected wounds, as the silver in the dressing provides an antimicrobial barrier that may be helpful in managing these wounds. In addition, the moist wound healing environment and control of wound bacteria within the Silverlon® Island Wound Dressing and Silverlon® Wound Pad Dressing may help reduce the risk of wound infection and support the body's healing process. Silverlon® Island Wound Dressings and Silverlon® Wound Pad Dressings may be used for the management of painful wounds. Silverlon® Island Wound Dressings and Silverlon® Wound Pad Dressing's non-adherent wound contact layer reduces pain during dressing changes and evaporation of moisture in the dressing may soothe the wound. |
