Intended Use
The Hemostasis, LLC wound dressings are intended for use as topical dressings for the management of bleeding wounds. Prescription: TraumArrest™ is indicated for use as a topical dressing for the temporary treatment of moderate to severely bleeding wounds such as surgical wounds (post-operative, donor sites, · dermatological), cuts and lacerations and is also indicated for control of bleeding from the skin at perculaneous needle access, vascular access and percutaneous catheter access sites. OTC: BleedArrest™ particles and foam are indicated for use as a topical dressing on minor bleeding wounds such as cuts, lacerations and abrasions and for minor nose bleeds.
Device Description
As described above, the Hemostasis, LLC hemostats are comprised of plant based starch particles. The particles consist in two forms; one is starch particles and one is starch particles processed into a foam using a lyophylization process and include a polysaccharide binder hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC). Starch is a polysaccharide that is a well known hemostatic agent due to its ability to hold moisture. The Hemostasis hemostatic particles and foam quickly dehydrate blood cells, thereby causing rapid hemoconcentration of platelets, serum proteins and fibrinogen, leading to clotting that limits and controls bleeding in moderate to severe lacerations,
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on the material composition and mechanism of action of a plant-based starch hemostatic agent. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would typically incorporate AI or ML. The "Not Found" entries for mentions of AI, DNN, ML, training sets, and test sets further support this conclusion.

No.
The device is described as a topical dressing intended for the management and control of bleeding wounds, which classifies it as a hemostat rather than a therapeutic device.

No

The device is a topical dressing intended to manage or treat bleeding wounds. It does not diagnose any condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is comprised of "plant based starch particles" and "starch particles processed into a foam," which are physical materials, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the wound dressings are for the "management of bleeding wounds" and are applied "topical dressings". This indicates a direct application to the body for a therapeutic or wound management purpose.
  • Device Description: The description details the composition of the dressing (plant-based starch particles) and its mechanism of action (dehydrating blood cells to promote clotting). This is a physical or chemical interaction with the wound itself, not an analysis of a sample taken from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of:
    • Analyzing a sample (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) in vitro (outside the body).
    • Providing information about a patient's health status, diagnosis, or monitoring based on sample analysis.
    • Any laboratory procedures or equipment typically associated with IVDs.

In summary, the device is a topical wound dressing designed to control bleeding directly on the wound, which falls under the category of a medical device, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Roberts:

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.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
