Intended Use
IRRIGO Wound Wash Jet System is intended for use by or under the direction of a professional healthcare provider in moistening and lubricating absorbent wound dressings, cleansing, and maintaining a moist wound environment for traumatic wounds such as pressure sores, leg ulcers of diabetic and vascular origin, cuts, abrasions, and minor burns.
Device Story
IRRIGO Wound Wash Jet System is a sterile, single-patient-use jet lavage device. It consists of 0.9% USP Sodium Chloride in USP Purified Water, packaged in a 60mL compressible LDPE bottle with a luer-lock tip spray insert. Operated by a healthcare provider, the device is manually compressed to generate a pulsatile stream of saline solution (up to 15 psi) directed at the wound. This mechanical action removes foreign material, dirt, debris, necrotic tissue, and wound exudates. The device is used in clinical settings to facilitate wound cleansing and maintain a moist environment, aiding in patient healing. It is sterilized via gamma irradiation and contains no preservatives.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included USP 43-NF38:2020 standards for sodium chloride irrigation, sterility, bacterial endotoxins, and purified water. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993-5 (cytotoxicity), ISO 10993-10 (intracutaneous reactivity, skin sensitization), ISO 10993-11 (acute systemic toxicity), and USP 151 (material-mediated pyrogenicity). Performance testing included internal pressure curves (up to 15 psi) and packaging integrity leak tests.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: LDPE (bottle/tip), HDPE (cap). Principle: Manual compression for pulsatile jet lavage. Energy: Manual. Dimensions: 60mL bottle. Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Gamma irradiation (ISO 11137). Standards: USP 43-NF38:2020, ISO 10993, ANSI AAMI ST67:2019.
Indications for Use
Indicated for professional healthcare provider use in moistening/lubricating absorbent wound dressings, cleansing, and maintaining a moist wound environment for traumatic wounds including pressure sores, diabetic/vascular leg ulcers, cuts, abrasions, and minor burns.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A jet lavage is a device used to clean a wound by a pulsatile jet of sterile fluid. The device consists of the pulsing head, tubing to connect to a container of sterile fluid, and a means of propelling the fluid through the tubing, such as an electric roller pump.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 880.9.

Dear Alain Lefebvre:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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
{1}------------------------------------------------
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) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).

#### X. Statement of Substantial Equivalence
The subject device and predicate devices are jet lavage devices used to clean a wound by a pulsatile jet of sterile fluid. These devices have intended use and similar technological characteristics. IRRIGO Wound Wash Jet System has the same intended use and indications for use as the primary and secondary predicate devices. Any minor differences in the technological features of the subject device when compared to the predicate devices have been evaluated through safety and performance testing and other verification and validation testing activities such that the information demonstrates that the subject device, when compared to the predicted devices, does not raise any new questions of safety and effectiveness. IRRIGO Wound Wash Jet System has been determined to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
