Intended Use
This device is indicated for use to provide hemostasis of the femoral vascular access site during and following catheterization or cannulation procedures.
Device Description
The CompressAR® SuperComfort™ Disc provides an elastomeric insert in the compression pad, and is used with a modified attachment to the CompressAR @ StrongArm™ System to provide a two-step friction fit connection. The elastomer insert contacts the patient skin providing increased friction against the skin. The disk and supporting stand provide a mechanical means of holding external pressure at or near the site of femoral vascular access. Direct pressure is used to obtain and maintain hemostasis, in a similar fashion to direct hand pressure on the access site or at a pressure point.

No
The description focuses on mechanical components and functions for applying pressure, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

Yes
The device is used to provide hemostasis, which is a therapeutic intervention to stop bleeding.

No

The device is indicated for providing hemostasis, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. It applies mechanical pressure to stop bleeding.

No

The device description explicitly mentions physical components like an "elastomeric insert," "compression pad," "disk," and "supporting stand," which are hardware.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is used to provide hemostasis (stop bleeding) at a femoral vascular access site during and following a procedure. It works by applying external mechanical pressure directly to the skin.
  • Lack of Specimen Testing: There is no mention of this device being used to test any biological specimens. Its function is purely mechanical and applied externally to the patient's body.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the CompressAR® SuperComfort™ Disc and StrongArm™ System is a mechanical medical device used for hemostasis, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
