Intended Use

TearRepair is intended to be used in areas exposed to mechanical forces such as friction and shear from bedding, clothing, shoes, or any material that may damage the skin. TearRepair can also be used to protect skin exposed to irritation from moisture such as urine, feces, digestive juices, perspiration, and wound drainage. TearRepair can also help protect the skin against irritation caused by adhesive products.

Device Story

TearRepair is a single-use, sterile liquid skin protectant. Healthcare providers apply the device by squeezing the applicator walls to crush an internal glass ampoule, releasing a methylidene malonate monomer. The liquid flows to a domed polyolefin/PP applicator tip and is applied to the skin. Upon contact, the liquid polymerizes to form a transparent, flexible film that adheres to skin contours. The film protects against friction, shear, and moisture-related irritation. The film wears off naturally as the skin regenerates. The device is intended for clinical use to prevent skin damage and irritation.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including mechanical testing (adhesive, shear, and tensile strength), heat of polymerization, moisture vapor transmission rate, setting time, and applicator functionality. Biocompatibility testing was conducted per ISO 10993 standards, including cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, acute systemic toxicity, material-mediated pyrogenicity, subacute toxicity, and implantation.

Technological Characteristics

Liquid barrier film; methylidene malonate monomer; applicator sleeve with internal glass ampoule; domed polyolefin/PP molded applicator tip. Sterilized via Gamma Irradiation. Single-use, Rx only.

Indications for Use

Indicated for adults over 21 requiring skin protection from mechanical forces (friction/shear), moisture (urine, feces, digestive juices, perspiration, wound drainage), and irritation from adhesive products.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A liquid bandage is a sterile device that is a liquid, semiliquid, or powder and liquid combination used to cover an opening in the skin or as a dressing for burns. The device is also used as a topical skin protectant.

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 available 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. {1}------------------------------------------------ Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download). Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30, Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90, Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181). 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 Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 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 Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050. All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-advicecomprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.

The adhesive is applied as a liquid and polymerizes, adhering to the contours of the skin to form a transparent, flexible film. TearRepair wears off naturally as the skin regenerates. | The adhesive is accessed by crushing the glass ampoule. This is achieved by holding it vertically with the tip upper most, and then the glass ampoule is broken by squeezing the applicator walls between finger and thumb. The adhesive is expressed by inverting the applicator and gently squeezing the applicator body until the adhesive wets the tip of the applicator.

The following tests were performed to demonstrate safety based on current industry standards: Bench Testing: - Mechanical Testing/Adhesive strength testing - Heat of Polymerization . - Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate . - . Setting Time of Liquid Skin Protectant - Applicator Functionality Biocompatibility: - Cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5) - Sensitization (ISO 10993-10) ● - Irritation (ISO 10993-10) ● - . Acute systemic toxicity (ISO 10993-11) - Material-mediated pyrogenicity (ISO 10993-11, USP <151>) - Subacute toxicity (ISO 10993-11) . - . Implantation (ISO 10993-6) The results of these tests indicate that TearRepair is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. {9}------------------------------------------------ #### CONCLUSION Based on the testing performed, including wound closure strength, shear strength, and tensile strength, and biocompatibility testing, it can be concluded that the subject device does not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness compared to the predicate devices. The similar indications for use, technological characteristics, and performance characteristics for the proposed TearRepair are assessed to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
