Device Name: Assay For Detection Of Proteases In Chronic Wounds

Device Class: 2

Physical State: Swab to collect wound fluid that is then mixed with a substrate and added to a lateral flow device for detection of enzymatic activity

Definition: A device to detect bacterial protease activity in chronic wound fluid is a lateral flow prescription device that may include a sterile swab. The device is intended for use in patients as an aid in assessing the risk for non-healing of chronic venous, diabetic foot, and pressure ulcers associated with wounds where there are no signs of wound infection and where patient are asymptomatic for clinical signs of infection.
