The description focuses on the material composition and application of a hemostatic bandage, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
Yes
This device is intended for the control of severely bleeding wounds and the local management of bleeding, which involves treating a medical condition and is, therefore, therapeutic.
No
The device description indicates that the HemCon® Bandage is used for wound treatment and controlling bleeding, not for diagnosing a condition or disease.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical bandage made from chitosan, a material consisting of cellulosic polymer. It is applied to a wound and is packaged and sterilized. This indicates a physical medical device, not a software-only one.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the external, temporary treatment of bleeding wounds. This is a direct application to the body for a physical effect (hemostasis).
- Device Description: The device is a bandage made of chitosan, applied to the wound to control bleeding. This is a topical, physical intervention.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing samples taken from the body (blood, urine, tissue, etc.).
- Providing information about a patient's health status, disease, or condition based on the analysis of these samples.
- Using reagents or instruments to perform tests on samples.
The HemCon® Bandage is a medical device used for wound management and hemostasis, not for diagnostic testing of samples.

Dear Mr. Morgan:
This letter corrects our June 3,2005 substantially equivalent letter.
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 Act. 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.

The HemCon® Bandage is intended as an external temporary wound treatment for the control of severely bleeding wounds for emergency use. In addition, the HemCon® Bandage also controls bleeding in patients following hemodialysis. The HemCon® Bandage OTC is intended for the local management of bleeding such as laceration and minor bleeding. Performance data for the HemCon® Bandage and the HemCon® Bandage OTC have been previously submitted in the referenced predicate device submissions. The HemCon® Bandage and the HemCon® Bandage OTC are antibacterial barriers as demonstrated by AATCC Test Method 100-2004, Evaluation of Antibacterial Finishes (Technical Manual of the American Association of Textile Chemist and Colorists) in laboratory testing with Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumonia.

achieved. Then, an outer bandage is applied to secure the dressing on the wound site.
The HemCon® Bandage and the HemCon® Bandage OTC are manufactured from chitosan, a material consisting of cellulosic polymer, poly[ß(1->4)-2-amino-2-deoxy-D-dlucopyranose]. Several biomedical applications of chitosan have already been reported. Chitosan has many advantages due to its absence of toxicity and biodegradability without damaging the environment. It is a biocompatible material that breaks down slowly into a harmless product, alucosamine, which is absorbed completely by the body. Complete biocompatibility data is presented in the referenced predicate devices submissions.
These devices are packaged in a foil package and provided sterile. They are sterilized by gamma irradiation at a dose adequate to ensure a SAL of 10 %. The validation study conducted according to ISO 11137, Method IIB is on file at HemCon.
The HemCon® Bandage and HemCon Bandage OTC are identical to the HemCon® Bandage and HemCon® Bandage OTC in intended use, material, performance, sterilization method, and method of application and are expected to achieve the same safety and effectiveness as the predicate devices mentioned above while providing additional antibacterial barrier properties.
