Intended Use
Neptune Pad (calcium alginate pad alone): Neptune Pad is used to promote the rapid control of bleeding and provide hemostasis for lacerations, abrasions, vascular access sites and following surgical incision. It can be used to achieve hemostasis at the skin surface for arterial/venous catheterization/tubes, needle puncture, hemodialysis and in patients on anticoagulation therapy. Neptune Comfort-Band (Pressure Band with calcium alginate pad): Neptune Comfort-Band is used to provide pressure and promote the rapid control of bleeding and promote hemostasis following needle puncture, arterial/venous catheterization and access sites, including patients on anticoagulation therapy, and following hemodialysis. Comfort-Band (Pressure Band alone): Comfort-Band is used to provide pressure and promote the rapid control of bleeding and hemostasis following needle puncture, arterial/venous catheterization and access sites, including patients on anticoagulation therapy, and following hemodialysis. It may be used alone, with Neptune Pad, with sterile gauze or other sterile wound dressings.
Device Description
Neptune Pad - Varying size, packaged sterile pads may be used alone as a wound dressing. The Pad may also be used with manual pressure or FDA cleared mechanical pressure devices to provide rapid control of bleeding and hemostasisat the skin surface. Neptune Comfort-Band - The Comfort-Band is packaged with a Neptune Pad, and sterilized. It is strapped around the arm (hemodialysis graft, or radial/brachial arteries) to provide pressure for rapid control of bleeding and hemostasis. Comfort-Band - The Comfort-Band is provided sterile or non-sterile, single use only. Non-sterile Comfort-Bands are provided with cleaning and high level disinfectant instructions) The Sterile Comfort-Band is packaged alone and EtO sterilized. The Comfort-Bands may be used with or without a dressing. The device is strapped around the arm (hemodialysis graft, or radial/brachial arteries) to provide rapid pressure control of bleeding and hemostasis.
More Information

No
The device description and intended use focus on physical components (pads and bands) for applying pressure and promoting hemostasis. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes

The device (Neptune Pad, Neptune Comfort-Band, and Comfort-Band) is intended to promote the rapid control of bleeding and provide hemostasis for various conditions, which are therapeutic actions.

No

These devices are designed to control bleeding and provide hemostasis, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. They do not analyze or interpret physiological data to identify a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (pads and bands) used for applying pressure and promoting hemostasis, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, this device is NOT an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used outside of the body (in vitro) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The descriptions of the Neptune Pad and Comfort-Band clearly indicate they are used on the body surface to control bleeding and provide hemostasis. They are physical devices applied externally.
  • Intended Use: The intended uses described are for managing bleeding from wounds, access sites, and surgical incisions, which are all external applications.
  • Device Description: The descriptions detail physical pads and bands used for pressure and wound dressing, not for analyzing biological samples.

The device's function and intended use are entirely focused on external wound management and hemostasis, which falls under the category of medical devices used in vivo (on or in the body), not in vitro (outside the body for diagnostic testing).
