### గ్ Predicate Device Comparision
{1}------------------------------------------------
K050086
Brennen Medical, Inc. believes the Silver Glucan to be substantially equivalent in design, materials, function, and intended use as Acticoat Silver Coated Wound Dressing, a wownd dressing that is in commercial distribution and is presently marketed by Westain Medical (now under the name of Smith-Nephew) and previously reviewed by ODE under 510(k) K955453; and Silverlon Contact Wound Dressing reviewed on K981299. Both were found substantially equivalent.
Also, the following predicate device(s) contain silver or glucan and have been reviewed by ODE and found substantially equivalent
The predicate devices are: 1. Acticoat Silver Coated Dressing (K983833, K992221, K000051, K001519 and K002466); 2. Brennen Medical, Inc. Glucan II Wound Dressing (K964241).
The predicate devices are all sterile, single use coverings for wounds. Each of the silver predicate devices, as well as this new device, employ silver metal on a support material.
The support matrix varies for each of the products. Acticoat silver coated dressing is a 3ply gauze wound dressing consisting of an absorbent rayon/polyester core and an upper and lower layer of silver-coated high density polyethylene mesh designed to be a banner against microbial infections of a wound. Silverlon and Silver Glucan are composed of a polymeric material (nylon). While the support matrixes vary for each product the role it provides is the same; to provide a physical barrier to the wound and provide a substrate for Ag.
The differences between the new Silver Glucan device and its predicate devices are minor and raise no new questions of safety or effectiveness. All of the products have the same intended use and are sterile and for single use.
#### Biocompatibility 6.
The Silver Glucan Wound Dressing was subjected to the following performance tests:
- Biocompatability studies (including skin irritation, sensitization, and cytotoxicity)
- Animal Wound Healing Study .
- Silver dissolution .
- Tensile strength .
- Barrier efficacy .
- Zone of inhibition .
- Stability testing ●
In all instances, the Silver Glucan Wound Dressing is both effective for its intended use and functions in a substantially equivalent manner to the predicate devices.
