Indications for Use
FortiShield is intended for use as a temporary wound covering, and to provide a moist wound healing environment on cleanly debrided wounds after hemostasis has been established.
Device Story
FortiShield is a sterile, translucent biosynthetic wound matrix; consists of knitted tri-filament nylon fabric mechanically bonded to a semi-permeable silicone membrane; denatured porcine dermal collagen is bonded to the bi-layer. Device acts as a temporary wound covering; provides moist environment; allows excess exudate drainage; serves as barrier to external environment. Used in clinical settings for management of various wound types; applied by healthcare professionals. Output is the physical dressing itself; clinical benefit includes wound protection and support of healing environment. Non-pyrogenic; not made with natural rubber latex.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance properties (tensile elongation, fatigue, water vapor transmission rate) demonstrated equivalence to predicate devices. Biocompatibility evaluated per ISO 10993-1 for surface devices with prolonged contact (>24 hours to 30 days), including testing for irritation, systemic toxicity, implantation, cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, hemolysis, and material-mediated pyrogenicity.
Technological Characteristics
Bi-layer scaffold: knitted tri-filament nylon fabric and porous silicone membrane. Surface coating: denatured porcine dermal collagen. Sterile (SAL 10^-6). Non-pyrogenic. Dimensions range from 2"x2" to 15"x30".
Indications for Use
Indicated for partial thickness wounds, pressure sores, diabetic ulcers, chronic vascular ulcers, surgical wounds (donor sites/grafts, post-laser surgery, podiatric, wound dehiscence), trauma wounds (abrasions, lacerations, partial thickness burns, and skin tears) and draining wounds.

Dear Christina Nichols:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include 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 of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for

## Non-Clinical Mechanical Testing:
Mechanical testing conducted on the FortiShield device and the Biobrane II predicate device demonstrates that the following performance properties of the devices are equivalent: tensile elongation, fatigue, and water vapor transmission rate.
## Biocompatibility Testing:
FortiShield was determined to be biocompatible based on ISO 10993-1 and "FDA General Guidance on Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices- Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process." Based on the intended use of FortiShield, the device is classified according to ISO 10993-1 as a surface device with prolonged (>24 hours to 30 days) contact with breached, compromised surfaces.
The following biological endpoints were included in the evaluation of the biological safety of FortiShield: irritation or intracutaneous reactivity, acute systemic toxicity, implantation, cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, hemolysis, material-mediated pyrogenicity, and chemical characterization (extractables) with toxicological risk assessment. The tests and chemical characterization were performed on the final, finished and sterile subject device and the device is considered to be biocompatible based on these results.
## Conclusions:
The subject device and the predicate devices underwent evaluation that confirms equivalence in the intended use of each device, biocompatibility, performance, environment of use, and the principles of operation. Therefore, the subject device demonstrates substantial equivalence to the predicate devices.
