Intended Use
The T-Scientific T-Pad™ is intended for use in the: - 1. Local management of bleeding wounds such as lacerations, abrasions, nose bleeds, vascular access site, percutaneous catheters or tubes and surgical debridement, and - 2. The promotion of rapid control of bleeding in patients following hemodialysis and in patients on anticoagulation therapy.
Device Description
The T-Scientific T-Pad™ is a soft, non-woven pad of poly-N-acetylglucosamine. T-Pad™ is packed in a foil pouch and sterilized by E-beam radiation to a 10-6 SAL.
More Information

No
The 510(k) summary describes a physical hemostatic pad and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

Yes

The device is intended for the "local management of bleeding wounds" and "promotion of rapid control of bleeding," which are therapeutic actions.

No
The device description and intended use indicate that the T-Scientific T-Pad™ is designed for the local management and promotion of rapid control of bleeding, which are therapeutic functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "soft, non-woven pad" and is "packed in a foil pouch and sterilized by E-beam radiation," indicating it is a physical, hardware-based medical device.

Based on the provided information, the T-Scientific T-Pad™ is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device's function as a topical hemostatic agent for managing bleeding wounds and promoting rapid bleeding control. This is a direct therapeutic or procedural application on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical pad made of poly-N-acetylglucosamine, designed for direct application to a wound.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (blood, tissue, etc.) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. IVDs typically involve reagents, analyzers, or other components used in a laboratory or point-of-care setting to analyze biological samples.

The T-Scientific T-Pad™ falls under the category of a medical device used for wound management and hemostasis, applied directly to the patient.

Dear Mr. Metcalf:

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 A.ct. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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); 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.
