## Intended Use
ACTABOND Topical Skin Adhesive is intended for topical application only, to hold closed easily approximated skin edges of wounds from surgical incisions from minimally invasive surgery, and simple, thoroughly cleansed, trauma-induced lacerations. ACTABOND Topical Skin Adhesive may be used in conjunction with, but not in place of, deep dermal stitches.
## Device Story
ACTABOND is a 2-octyl cyanoacrylate-based liquid topical skin adhesive containing D&C Violet #2; supplied in a sterile, single-use pen-style applicator with a flexible bulb tip. Upon application to skin edges, liquid polymerizes into a thin, strong film; acts as a bacterial barrier. Used by clinicians in surgical or clinical settings to approximate skin edges; provides wound closure support. Benefits include effective wound approximation and bacterial barrier protection. Applicator design avoids glass shards.
## Clinical Evidence
Bench testing evaluated viscosity, setting time, purity, moisture, hydrolytic degradation, bacterial barrier, wound closure strength (ASTM F2458-05), tensile strength (ASTM F2258-05), lap shear strength (ASTM F2255-05), heat of polymerization, and applicator functionality. A porcine study compared safety and effectiveness in a full-thickness linear wound model over 14 days; results showed no remarkable differences in wound closure, healing, or histology compared to the predicate. Biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993 series (cytotoxicity, irritation, systemic injection, sensitization, implantation) confirmed safety.
## Technological Characteristics
2-octyl cyanoacrylate liquid adhesive with D&C Violet #2. Pen-style applicator with flexible bulb tip. Sterilization: adhesive via electron beam (ISO 11137-2:2013); finished device via ethylene oxide (ISO 11135:2014). SAL 10^-6. Standards: ASTM F2458-05, F2258-05, F2255-05; ISO 10993-1:2009/(R)2013.
## Regulatory Identification

#### 4. Device Description
ACTABOND Topical Skin Adhesive is a skin closure device that is comprised of a 2-octyl cyanoacrylate liquid adhesive formulation containing D & C Violet #2. The liquid adhesive is supplied sterile within a single use dispensing applicator, which is used to deliver the adhesive to the skin. Once applied, the liquid adhesive polymerizes to form a thin film with strong bonding and tensile properties. In vitro studies have shown that following application, ACTABOND Adhesive acts as a barrier to prevent bacterial penetration. The barrier properties of ACTABOND Adhesive have not been studied in clinical or animal models.

To the right of the circle, the word "BERGEN" is written in a bold, dark blue font, and below that, "MEDICAL" is written in a lighter blue. Underneath "MEDICAL", the word "PRODUCTS" is written in smaller, light blue letters.
#### 5. Indications for Use
ACTABOND Topical Skin Adhesive is intended for topical application only, to hold closed easily approximated skin edges of wounds from surgical incisions, including incisions from minimally invasive surgery, and simple, thoroughly cleansed, trauma-induced lacerations. ACTABOND Topical Skin Adhesive may be used in conjunction with, but not in place of, deep dermal stitches.
#### 6. Comparison of Technological Characteristics with Predicate
The technological characteristics of ACTABOND Topical Skin Adhesive and the predicate device are closely comparable. Both devices:
- 트 are 2-octyl cyanoacrylate-based liquid adhesive formulations containing D&C violet #2
- l are sterilized in their final packaging to an SAL of 10th using ethylene oxide
- provide a pen-style single use applicator that is delivered sterile in a peel open package
- incorporate a flexible bulb tip that is squeezed to apply the adhesive from the applicator
- l polymerize within minutes to form a film with strong bonding and tensile properties
- l maintain skin edge approximation and provide a bacterial barrier
The minor differences between the ACTABOND and DERMABOND devices include:
- I different primary packaging
- . different sterilization method for the adhesive in the primary packaging
- different applicator actuation mechanism that avoids glass shards
These differences do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
#### 7. Performance Data
The testing plan for the ACTABOND device was developed in consideration of the FDA guidance document "Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff: Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Tissue Adhesive for the Topical Approximation of Skin", May 30, 2008, as well as design control requirements and risk analysis. Testing to establish substantial equivalence of the ACTABOND Topical Skin Adhesive to the predicate device has been completed according to Bergen Medical procedures in compliance with the requirements of 21 CFR 820.30 – Design Control.
# Performance Testing:
Bench studies have been performed to evaluate the device properties:
- l Viscosity
- l Setting time
- I Purity
- Moisture
- Hydrolytic degradation
- Bacterial barrier

To the right of the circle, the word "BERGEN" is written in large, bold, blue letters. Below "BERGEN", the word "MEDICAL" is written in the same style. Below "MEDICAL", the word "PRODUCTS" is written in smaller, lighter blue letters.
Performance studies have been performed to demonstrate equivalence to the predicate device. In all cases, the ACTABOND device demonstrated equivalence to the predicate.
- 트 Wound closure strength (ASTM F2458-05)
- . Tensile strength (ASTM F2258-05)
- Lap shear strength (ASTM F2255-05)
- l Heat of polymerization
- Applicator Functionality
# Animal Studies:
A porcine study was conducted to compare the safety and effectiveness of ACTABOND Topical Skin Adhesive to the predicate device in a surgically induced, full thickness, linear wound healing model. This study evaluated acute wound closure, maintenance of wound closure, and support of normal wound healing for 14 days. A histological evaluation was also performed to evaluate healing after 14 days.
The results of this study demonstrated no remarkable differences between the subject and predicate device study groups for clinical wound observations and histological analysis. Both groups maintained wound closure, supporting a normal wound healing process without delay and showed complete epidermal re-epithelialization at 14 days.
# Biocompatibility:
The biocompatibility of the ACTABOND Topical Skin Adhesive device has been evaluated according to the studies recommended in AAMI/ANSI/ISO 10993-1:2009/(R)2013, "Biological evaluation of medical devices - part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process" for a device intended for prolonged contact (24 hours – 30 days) with breached skin. The results of these studies, listed below, demonstrate that the ACTABOND Topical Skin Adhesive device is safe for its intended use.
- Cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5:2009(R)2014)
- Irritation/Intracutaneous reactivity (ISO 10993-10:2010)
- I Systemic Injection (ISO 10993-11:2006(R)2010)
- 트 Sensitization/Kligman Maximization (ISO 10993-10:2010)
- I Intramuscular implantation (ISO 10993-6:2007(R)2010)
# Sterilization and Shelf-Life:
The ACTABOND device is sterilized in two steps during device production. The liquid adhesive formulation is sterilized in its primary packaging by electron beam radiation in compliance with the requirements of ISO 11137- 2:2013. After device assembly and packaging, the finished device is sterilized by exposure to ethylene oxide gas in compliance with the requirements of ISO 11135:2014. Both sterilization processes are validated to provide a Sterility Assurance Level of 10°. The shelf life of the device has been confirmed through real-time aging studies.

To the right of the circle, the word "BERGEN" is written in large, blue letters. Below "BERGEN", the word "MEDICAL" is written in the same blue color and font size. Below "MEDICAL", the word "PRODUCTS" is written in smaller, blue letters.
#### 8. Conclusions
The ACTABOND Topical Skin Adhesive device and predicate device, DERMABOND NX Topical Skin Adhesive (K100423), have identical indications for use, function according to the same fundamental scientific technology, and are closely comparable with regard to device design. Minor differences between the ACTABOND device and the predicate with regard to the primary package for the adhesive, the sterilization method for the adhesive in its primary package, and the mechanism for device actuation do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness. In vitro and in vivo testing results provided in the 510(k) submission demonstrate that the ACTABOND device meets its specifications and is substantially equivalent to the DERMABOND NX Topical Skin Adhesive predicate.
