No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical and hemostatic properties of a gelatin and thrombin paste, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
Yes
The device is described as a hemostat used for temporary control of bleeding wounds and for the local management of surface bleeding, which directly addresses a medical condition (bleeding) and provides treatment.
No
The device description and intended use clearly state that it is a hemostatic agent applied topically for temporary control of bleeding, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly lists multiple physical components including syringes, vials, and applicator tips, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the topical control of bleeding from wounds, vascular access sites, and percutaneous tubes/catheters. This is a direct therapeutic application to the body surface, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose or monitor a condition.
- Device Description: The components are a hemostatic agent (thrombin and gelatin) and delivery accessories. These are designed to physically stop bleeding, not to analyze a biological sample.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.), performing tests, or providing diagnostic information.
IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is applied in vivo (on the body) for a therapeutic effect (hemostasis).

Dear Mr. Chapman:
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.
