Device Story

Cutinova thin is a polyurethane wound dressing; manages low to moderate exudate wounds. Modification involves changing polyurethane material from aromatic diisocyanate to aliphatic diisocyanate; addition of alpha-tocopherol for thermal stability. Device applied topically to wound site; provides protective barrier. Used in clinical settings or home care; managed by healthcare professionals or patients. Benefits include wound management; does not accelerate healing or act as artificial skin.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Biological testing conducted in accordance with ISO 10993 showed no negative effects. Performance characteristics were comparable to the predicate device.

Technological Characteristics

Polyurethane dressing; material modified from aromatic diisocyanate to aliphatic diisocyanate; contains alpha-tocopherol for thermal stability. Testing performed per ISO 10993.

Indications for Use

Indicated for management of surface wounds with low to moderate exudate, including minor burns, abrasions, second degree burns, leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, post-op wounds, and donor sites.

## Summary of Safety and Effectiveness for Cutinova® thin - K984593

This 510(k) is being submitted for a modification to Cutinova thin that was originally cleared for sale in the U.S. in 1994 (K944581)

Cutinova thin is a polyurethane dressing that is indicated for the management of wounds with low to moderate exudate. The current modification involves a change in the material used to make the urethane from an aromatic diisocyanate to an aliphatic diisocyanate and does not affect the indications for use.

Biological tests were done in accordance with ISO 10993 and showed no negative effects for the modified Cutinova thin. Performance characteristics were also comparable to the currently marketed product. In addition, a very small amount of & Tocopherol was added to improve the thermal stability of the product.

Based on safety information in international data bases, biological testing and performance characteristics, it can be concluded that the modified Cutinova thin is substantially equivalent to the current legally marketed Cutinova thin.

Dear Mr. Pereira:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of March 1, 1999.

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 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 (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act including requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration and the following limitations:

1. This device may not be labeled for use on third degree burns.

2. This device may not be labeled as having any accelerating effect on the rate of wound healing or epithelization.

3. This device may not be labeled as a long-term, permanent, or no-change dressing, or as an artificial (synthetic) skin.

{2}------------------------------------------------

## Page 2 - Mr. Angelo Pereira

4. This device may not be labeled as a treatment or a cure for any type of wound.

The labeling claims listed above would be considered a major modification in the intended use of the device and would require a premarket notification submission (21 CFR 807.81).

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 requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to continue marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
