1. What is DressFit?

DressFit is built on a configurable, auditable rule set, defined and approved by the facility.

2. What DressFit is not

• Not a medical device within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (EU MDR).
• Not a diagnostic tool. DressFit does not analyse any patient data and does not perform any wound assessment.
• Not AI or an LLM. Every result displayed comes from rules defined by the facility, which can be read and verified.
• Not a treatment recommendation. DressFit does not make any individualised recommendation. Treatment decisions rest solely with the clinical judgment of the healthcare professional.

3. Users and setting

4. What the facility configures in DressFit

4.1 Facility data

• Available stock
• Prices
• The facility's dressing protocol
• Internal allocation rules (across units, sites, or departments)

4.2 Manufacturer indications and data

• Indications, contraindications, and precautions for use for each dressing
• Technical characteristics: dressing category, absorbency, available sizes

4.3 Dressing sustainability

Criteria displayed for each dressing, alongside cost. Source: information declared by manufacturers.

• Country of manufacture
• Materials used

4.4 Reference documents

The facility can attach to each rule in its protocol the documents that support it. DressFit makes them available for consultation; it does not turn them into selection logic.

• Published clinical data: studies indexed in PubMed, articles in peer-reviewed journals.
• Official guidelines by region: see section 5.

5. Official guidelines by region

Key public guidelines the facility can consult and attach to its protocol. They are provided as reference documents, not as selection logic built into DressFit.

6. How it works

1. The healthcare professional selects the criteria manually (wound type, exudate, location, size range, predominant tissue…). Validated WoundTrack II data can be displayed next to DressFit so the clinician has it at hand. Nothing is prefilled: DressFit does not receive the values.
2. DressFit applies the facility's rules and retrieves the dressings listed in the protocol for those criteria.
3. DressFit filters by stock and internal allocation rules.
4. DressFit displays a filtered list of compliant dressings, with their characteristics, manufacturer indications, cost, and sustainability criteria. No ranking by clinical relevance.
5. The healthcare professional chooses the treatment based on their clinical judgment.

Configured by the facility

• The clinical content of the protocol and the selection criteria are defined and approved by the facility (pharmacy, wound care committee), under its responsibility. These criteria may include clinical indicators such as:
  • PAR4 indicator (percentage area reduction of a patient's wound at 4 weeks)
  • Custom notification thresholds for wound healing
• Changes are restricted to authorised user profiles.

7. Warnings and precautions

• The results displayed depend on the accuracy and timeliness of the protocol, formulary, stock, and prices entered by the facility.
• Manufacturer indications and contraindications take precedence in all circumstances.
