Intended Use
NEOCERA Cream is indicated for management of various types of dermatoses, including atopic dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis.
Device Story
NEOCERA Advanced Cream is a fragrance-free, water-soluble topical dressing; intended for prescription use in the management of dermatoses like atopic dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis. The cream forms a semi-occlusive barrier on the skin to cover affected areas. It is applied topically by the patient or caregiver. The formulation includes skin conditioning agents, film formers, humectants, and emulsifiers. The device functions as a physical barrier to protect the skin; it does not contain active pharmaceutical ingredients. Clinical benefit is derived from the protective, semi-occlusive nature of the dressing, which aids in managing skin irritation and dryness associated with dermatological conditions.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical evidence includes a human Repeated Insult Patch Test (RIPT) conducted per Declaration of Helsinki, ICH E6, and 21 CFR Parts 50/56. Results demonstrated no potential for dermal irritation or allergic contact sensitization. Non-clinical testing included ISO 10993-5 cytotoxicity (non-cytotoxic), ISO 10993-10 primary dermal irritation in rabbits (index 0.67, slightly irritant), and ISO 10993-10 guinea pig sensitization (no sensitization).
Technological Characteristics
Topical semi-occlusive dressing; non-sterile formulation. Ingredients include purified water, carbomer 980, stearic acid, glycerin, propylene glycol, polysorbate 20, triethanolamine, phenonip XB, sodium hydroxide, dimethicone, petrolatum, ceramide PC-104, palmitamide MEA, glycerrhetinic acid, and grape seed extract. Complies with 21 CFR 347.10(g) for dimethicone. Biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-5 and ISO 10993-10.
Indications for Use
Indicated for management of various types of dermatoses, including atopic dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis.

#### Performance Data
The predicate device is a non-sterile formulation that is applied topically for the management and relief of irritation associated with various types of dermatoses. Non-clinical testing as well as clinical testing were conducted to establish that NEOCERA has a safety and biocompatibility profile similar to the predicate device.
Non-Clinical testing
- Cytotoxicity Agar Diffusion Report No. V15-2677 (see section 15. Biocompatibility -Page 312)
Cytotoxicity testing was performed under Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) Standards and per ISO 10993-5, part 5: Test for In Vitro Cytotoxicity. The testing demonstrated that NEOCERA cream meets the requirement of the test per ISO 10993-5, and therefore is not cytotoxic.
- Primary Dermal Irritation in Rabbits Report No. T15-1205-01 (see section 15. -Biocompatibility Page 312)
Irritation testing was performed under GLP standards and also according to ISO 10993-10. Biological Evaluation of Medical devices- Part 10: Test for Irritation and Sensitization. The test article, NEOCERA Cream Elicited a primary dermal irritation index of 0.67 on a scale of 0-8. A primary dermal irritation index of 0.67 is categorized as being slightly irritant. We would like to point out that slightly irritant category ranges from 0.5-1.9, and clearly the test article NEOCARA Cream is at the lower end of the range.
- Guinea Pig Closed Patch Sensitization Test Report No. T15-1205-2 (see section 15. Biocompatibility Page 313)
Sensitization testing was also performed under GLP standards and per ISO 10993-10. Biological Evaluation of Medical devices- Part 10: Test for Irritation and Sensitization. Under the conditions of the testing, the test article did not elicit a sensitization reactions in the guinea pigs.
Clinical testing
- Repeated Insult Patch Test in Humans Report No. C15-1204.01 (see section 15. -Biocompatibility Page 313)
This test was perform in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. ICH E6. and 21 CFR Parts 50 and 56. The test article NEOCERA Cream did not demonstrate any potential for dermal irritation or allergic contact sensitization in humans.

| Shelf Life | 24 months ( on going<br>Stability) | 36 months |
## Conclusion
Based on its formulation, indication for use, as well as the non-clinical and clinical testing results showing a similar safety profile, we conclude that NEOCERA Cream is substantially equivalent to its predicate device Neosalus cream.
