Used in clinical/surgical settings to isolate incision sites from contaminants. Protects patients by preventing microbial transfer; aids clinicians in maintaining sterile fields. No active components; passive barrier technology. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Biocompatibility evaluated per ISO 10993-1 (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation/intracutaneous reactivity). Physical performance testing included hydrostatic head, impact penetration, synthetic blood penetration (ASTM 1670-1995), Phi X174 viral penetration (ASTM 1671-1995), Trapezoid Tear, Grab Tensile, Mullen Burst, Basis Weight, and flammability (Class 2). ## Technological Characteristics Nonwoven adhesively bonded polyester fibers laminated to 1.25 mil embossed blended polyethylene film. Passive barrier device. Flammability Class 2. Tested per ASTM 1670-1995 and ASTM 1671-1995. ## Regulatory 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. ## Predicate Devices - Convertors® Drape Materials ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The biocompatibility tests performed were cytotoxicity, sensitization, and irritation/intracutaneous reactivity. These materials also met the requirements of hydrostatic head, impact penetration, synthetic blood penetration (ASTM 1670-1995), Phi X174 (ASTM 1671-1995) Trapazoid Tear, Grab Tensile, Mullen Burst, Basis Weight, and flammability, Class 2. These materials have met the requirements of the identified tests and were found to be acceptable for the intended use. 24 --- **Source:** [https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/HO/subpart-e%E2%80%94surgical-devices/KKX/K964125](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/HO/subpart-e%E2%80%94surgical-devices/KKX/K964125) **Published by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com)** — a medical-device software consultancy.
