Indicated for use as a disposable barrier for dental instruments and equipment in a dental procedure setting. No specific patient population or contraindications identified.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A surgical drape and drape accessories is a device made of natural or synthetic materials intended to be used as a protective patient covering, such as to isolate a site of surgical incision from microbial and other contamination. The device includes a plastic wound protector that may adhere to the skin around a surgical incision or be placed in a wound to cover its exposed edges, and a latex drape with a self-retaining finger cot that is intended to allow repeated insertion of the surgeon's finger into the rectum during performance of a transurethral prostatectomy.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an ear, nose, and throat surgical drape, a latex sheet drape with self-retaining finger cot, a disposable urological drape, a Kelly pad, an ophthalmic patient drape, an ophthalmic microscope drape, an internal drape retention ring (wound protector), or a surgical drape that does not include an antimicrobial agent, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 878.9.

Discussion of Non-Clinical Tests Performed for Determination of Substantial Equivalence are as follows: Performance testing was provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination and to validate and verify that the subject device met all of the requirements of related international standards. Results of these tests demonstrate compliance with the requirements of the consensus standards. The ISO 10993-1 Fifth edition 2018-08 Biological evaluation of medical devices -Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process, is not applicable for the subject device, as the subject device does not come in direct contact with the tissue. The following biocompatibility testing have been conducted on the subject device: - . ISO 10993-5: Invitro Cytotoxicity: Cytotoxicity Study Using the ISO Elution Method - ISO 10993-10: Irritation and Skin Sensitization: ISO Guinea Pig ● Maximization Sensitization Test - Extract - ISO 10993-10: Irritation and Skin Sensitization: ISO Intracutaneous Study in Rabbits - ISO 10993-11: Systemic Toxicity: ISO Systemic Toxicity Study in Mice -● Extract The performance of the proposed subject device, Minitube Dentasleeve Protective Barrier Sleeves, met the requirements of the biocompatibility testing conducted to support substantial equivalence with the predicate, Barrier Sleeves, K191448. The performance testing (Bench) of the subject device, Minitube Dentasleeve Protective Barrier Sleeves, met the requirements of the non-clinical bench testing conducted to support substantial equivalence with the predicate, Barrier Sleeves (K191448). Below is a summary of the testing performed: - . ASTM F1670/F1670M Standard Test Method for Resistance of Materials Used in Protective Clothing to Penetration by Synthetic Blood - ASTM F1671/ F1671M Standard Test Method for Resistance of Materials ● Used in Protective Clothing to Penetration by Blood-Borne Pathogens Using Phi-X174 Bacteriophage Penetration as a Test System {11}------------------------------------------------ | Mechanical Property | Standard | Proposed Subject Device | Predicate Device Barrier Sleeves K191448 | |------------------------|----------------------|-------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------| | Tensile strengt | ASTM D882 | 0.03mm – Identical to Predicate Device | FDA 510(k) cleared with 0.03mm result. | | Puncture Resistance | ASTM F1342/F1342M | 0.03mm – Identical to Predicate Device | FDA 510(k) cleared with 0.03mm result. | | Tear Resistance | ASTM D1004 | 0.03mm – Identical to Predicate Device | FDA 510(k) cleared with 0.03mm result. | Below is a summary of the mechanical properties testing performed on the proposed subject Minitube Dentasleeve Protective Barrier Sleeves device: - ASTM D882 Standard Test Methods for Tensile Properties of Thin Plastic . Sheeting - ASTM F1342/ F1342M Standard Test Method for Protective Clothing ● Material Resistance to Puncture - ASTM D1004 Standard Test Method for Tear Resistance (Graves Tear) of . Plastic Film and Sheeting The results of the mechanical properties testing for the samples of the proposed devices, Barrier Sleeves, is identical to those reported for the predicate device, Barrier Sleeves, K191448. The results indicate the subject device passed performance testing under the conditions of the tests, and supports the substantial equivalence of the subject device, Minitube Dentasleeve Protective Barrier Sleeves to its predicate device, Barrier Sleeves K191448. # 8. Product Shelf Life The Shelf life for the predicate device is 5 years. The claimed shelf life for the new proposed subject device is also 5 years, which is identical to the predicate device. ### 9. Conclusion: Based on the substantial equivalence chart and the non-clinical performance testing data the subject device was demonstrated to be as safe, as effective and substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
