## Intended Use

The Avance NPWT system, with associated products, are indicated for patients who would benefit from a suction device (negative pressure wound therapy), as it may promote wound healing via the removal of fluids, including irrigation and body fluids, wound exudate and infectious materials. Examples of appropriate wound types include: chronic, acute, traumatic, sub-acute and dehisced wounds, ulcers (such as pressure or diabetic), partial-thickness burns, flaps and grafts.

## Device Story

Avance Gauze Dressing Kits are line additions to the Avance Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) system. Kits include antimicrobial gauze wound filler, Avance ViewPad, and Avance Transparent Film (or film with Safetac technology). Used in clinical settings to administer NPWT; gauze acts as wound filler to facilitate suction. System removes wound exudate, irrigation fluids, and infectious materials to promote healing. Healthcare providers apply the dressing to the wound site and connect it to an NPWT pump. Output is the physical removal of fluids from the wound bed. Benefits include improved wound management and healing promotion.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data was required to support substantial equivalence. Bench testing confirmed biocompatibility per ISO 10993 and verified that dressing components do not negatively affect NPWT system fluid transport or pressure delivery.

## Technological Characteristics

Single-use NPWT dressing kit. Components: antimicrobial gauze, Avance ViewPad, and transparent film (with/without Safetac technology). Biocompatible per ISO 10993. Functions as a passive interface for powered suction pumps (21 CFR 878.4780).

## Regulatory Identification

A powered suction pump is a portable, AC-powered or compressed air-powered device intended to be used to remove infectious materials from wounds or fluids from a patient's airway or respiratory support system. The device may be used during surgery in the operating room or at the patient's bedside. The device may include a microbial filter.

Dear Megan Bevill:

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 (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) 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 application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Actinclude 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.

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 (reporting of medical devicerelated adverse events) (21 CFR 803); 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.

All technological differences between the predicate devices have been accounted for within the submission through defailed device comparisons, nonclinical testing, and other means. Technological differences have been shown to raise of safety or effectiveness.

{5}------------------------------------------------

# Non-Clinical Testing:

The kit components have been shown to be biocompatible for their intended use, in accordance with ISO 10993.

Bench testing has been performed to demonstrate that the line additions to the Avance NPWT System do not negatively affect the ability of the NPWT system to transport fluid away from the wound and that pressure is delivered in an acceptable manner. The subject Avance Gauze Dressing Kits performed as intended in the test setups, and all predefined acceptance criteria were met.

# Clinical Data:

No clinical data was required to support substantial equivalence.

### Conclusion:

The subject devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate and reference devices with respect to design, technological characteristics, intended use, and conformance to standard requirements.
